An incredible Art Deco era cigarette case with amazing hammered pattern
and engine turned line patterns to the exterior. There is a a central
rectangular cartouche on the front with an engraved HCF monogram.
Typical of the excess of the 1920s before the stock market crash of
1929, beautiful cases like this showed off wealth and luxury.
A
great example, there are strips of solid gold in yellow and rose gold on
both sides of the exterior of the case. Stamped "Sterling 14k Gold
Inlaid". Measures 4.25 inches wide and 3.25 inches deep. Tactile,
superb high quality item, nice weight at 4.21 ounces (119 grams). The
interior is gold washed with a lift arm to hold cigarettes in place.
This case can also be used to store cash, business cards or credit cards
for a more modern day practical purpose.
Good condition, signs
of use, surface scratches and a few small dents. No issues that distract
from the presentation. Please review the photos for further assessment.
