No reserve price - Cigarette dispenser - Silver - Silver cigarette case

Early 20th century silver cigarette case with gilt and enamelled decorations Rectangular silver cigarette case, early 20th century, likely of Central European manufacture. The exterior is finely decorated with alternating ribbed and polished bands, enriched with applied ornamental motifs, including a horseshoe, a chain with a key-shaped element, and a small shield with red enamel decoration. The applied elements are executed in gilt silver, creating an elegant contrast with the silver ground. The interior is gilded, as customary for silver cigarette cases of this period, and bears maker’s and silver standard marks, including the stamped mark “KIM”, attributable to a workshop or silversmith’s mark. The additional punch indicates a silver alloy, likely 800 standard. The case is solidly constructed, with a well-functioning hinge and clasp. This object represents a refined example of early 20th century decorative silverware, combining functionality with symbolic and ornamental design elements typical of the Art Déco and late Jugendstil period. Condition: Very good overall condition, with light surface wear and patina consistent with age and use. Enamel well preserved. Material: Silver (likely 800), gilt silver applications, enamel Weight: approx. 148 g Origin: Central Europe Period: Early 20th century Portasigarette in argento del primo Novecento con decorazioni dorate e smaltate Portasigarette rettangolare in argento, risalente ai primi decenni del XX secolo, probabilmente di produzione centro-europea. La superficie esterna è decorata con un raffinato alternarsi di fasce rigate e lisce, arricchite da applicazioni ornamentali, tra cui un ferro di cavallo, una catena con elemento a forma di chiave e uno scudo con smalto rosso. Le applicazioni sono realizzate in argento dorato, creando un elegante contrasto cromatico con il fondo in argento. L’interno è dorato, come consuetudine nei portasigarette in argento dell’epoca, e presenta punzoni di fabbrica e titolo del metallo, tra cui il marchio “KIM”, riconducibile a un laboratorio o argentiere. Il punzone aggiuntivo indica una lega d’argento, verosimilmente titolo 800. L’oggetto è ben costruito, con cerniera e chiusura perfettamente funzionanti. Un esempio elegante e rappresentativo di argenteria decorativa del primo Novecento, in cui funzione e decorazione simbolica si fondono in uno stile riconducibile all’Art Déco e al tardo Jugendstil. Condizioni: Ottime condizioni generali, con lievi segni del tempo e patina coerenti con l’età. Smalto ben conservato. Materiale: Argento (probabile titolo 800), applicazioni in argento dorato, smalto Peso: ca. 148 g Provenienza: Europa centrale Epoca: Primo Novecento
