An incredible Art Deco era cigarette case with amazing engine turned
line patterns to the exterior. There is a circular cartouche in the
upper left corner on the front with an engraved AFH 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 on both sides of the exterior of
the case. Stamped "Sterling and 14k". Measures 4 inches wide and 3.5
inches deep. Tactile, superb high quality item, nice weight at 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 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. Money and other items in photos are for presentation purposes only and are not included. Check out our other antique listings.
