We are delighted to offer this exquisite art deco solid sterling silver cigarette case made in Birmingham 1936 with marks for Joseph Gloster Ltd. 

 

Practicality, elegance and distinguished style combined in one, this cigarette case is the perfect accoutrement to any tobacciana collection or collectors of enamelware.

 

Particularly delightfully, the enamel remains in good condition on this piece despite its age and it has been kept in very good order.

 

The exterior features a striking and unmistakable deco design with a light green sunburst guilloche design with white accents towards the edge. 

 

The interior is fully silver gilt which not only contrasts the silver colour but 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. 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 hallmarks are present on both inner panels of the case.

Great Condition -  The cigarette case is in great condition with no major damage or issues. For accuracy: there are some fine surface scratches to the enamel and interior gilding but no chips or damage. The engine-turned base has some very minor dings that are only visible depending on the angle of lighting and under close inspection.

 

We aim to overemphasize and state these issues to avoid disappointment and thus please rest assured they are not significant nor affect the usage of the items. 

 

Please refer to the photographs to examine the condition in further detail.
