Antique Sterling Silver Cigarette Case with Silver Gilt Blue Guilloche Enamel

We are delighted to offer this stunning deep blue enamel and sterling silver gilt cigarette case, London import 1926.

With practicality, elegance and style combined in one, this cigarette case is the perfect accoutrement for any tobacciana collection or collectors of enamelware.

The exterior features a wonderful deep blue guilloche enamel with a very fine starburst pattern. The entirety of the case is gilt (gold on top of solid silver) which creates a vivid and regal contrast to the blue and further elevates its opulence.

The interior is also fully silver gilt which provides a layer of protection from the contents inside oxidising/tarnishing the silver.

The push button clasp still functions very well with an audible 'snap' upon closure, keeping all contents held within safely. A further sign of quality is the spring action hinge which automatically opens once the button is pressed.

Whislt originally designed for holding cigarettes, this case could also be used for short-form cigars, holding matches or small items. A perfect gift or addition for the discerning individual and an equally delightful conversation starter.

A set of English import hallmarks are present on both inner panels of the case however the sponsor/maker's mark is worn and indistinguishable.
