AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exceptional fine quality Antique ornate Chinese export silver cigarette case "Shanghai" with silver gilt interior. The mark probably is (not sure) Tuck Chang TC 1890-1915. One side is detailed with farmers and the other side is detailed with 2 cranes or storks which symbolizes longevity as well as wisdom.

The case is in almost perfect original condition with some small scratches in the heart and 2 tiny dents on the side. Please see photos as they form part of the description
