AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The object shown in the image is an antique silver cigarette case, characterized by an intricate engraved decoration. It is made of 925 silver with decorations executed using the burin engraving technique.
The lid features vegetal scroll motifs and a central monogram enclosed in a circular cartouche. The decorative style is consistent with European silverware from the late 19th or early 20th century.
This type of rectangular container with beveled corners and a side hinge was commonly used as a cigarette case, but also as a match holder or business card holder. The item on the back bears signs of use and age (see photo).
The silver hallmarks and the assay marks on two faces of the tobacco case are visible but not legible. The lot will be adequately packaged and shipped with authorized couriers and with online tracking.
