This Art Deco metal cigarette box is an object type of box made from silvered metal and pewter with a silver colour. Dating from 1930, the piece exhibits an Art Deco style with a design vibe of Art Deco glamour. The square box has a hinged lid construction decorated with a bas-relief female portrait and a swirling smoke motif. The visible details include embossed metal work depicting a woman holding a cigarette framed by swirling smoke. Practical dimensions measure 7.5 cm high, 13.5 cm wide, and 13.5 cm deep. In a modern home, this decorative box fits neatly on an office desk to hold small desk items or keepsakes. The compact container functions as a stylish tabletop accessory that brings period character to a workspace or living area. Collectors of early twentieth-century metalwork will find it a practical addition to a curated display shelf.

FAQs

During the 1920s and 1930s, social smoking became increasingly fashionable, prompting makers to produce decorative tabletop containers. These boxes reflected the prevailing Art Deco and late Art Nouveau aesthetics, featuring stylized portraiture, geometric motifs, and sleek metallic finishes.

Makers frequently utilized pewter, brass, white metal alloys, nickel-plated metal, and electroplated silver. Cast or stamped relief panels were commonly employed to create detailed surface patterns and figurative scenes.

Authentic pieces often exhibit age-appropriate surface oxidisation, minor wear along hinge mechanisms, and era-specific iconography such as flapper hairstyles or streamlined motifs. Makers marks, foundry stamps, or registration numbers stamped on the base also assist in identification.

These decorative objects function well on coffee tables, bookshelves, or office desks to hold small stationary items or jewellery. Their metallic texture offers a historical contrast alongside contemporary minimalist decor.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to clean the relief surface. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes that can remove natural patina or thin silver plating; a mild conservation wax may be applied sparingly to protect the metal.
