Description from the seller

Antique German solid silver cigarette case, hallmarked 835 (87.5% pure silver), weighing 120 grams. Dimensions: 10.5 x 8 x 0.8 cm. Presented in its original box (15 x 10 x 2.5 cm). The lid is decorated with fine guilloché, a mechanical technique requiring specialized tools, characteristic of high-end German silversmithing of the Art Deco period (1920s-1930s). The maker's mark refers to a "Hoflieferant" (Court Supplier), a prestigious title awarded by the German royal court to artisans of exceptional skill.

This case originates from the city of Constance, created by the court jeweler to the Grand Duke of Baden.

Fully hallmarked with the German silver standard 835 and the maker's mark. A refined accessory for a gentleman, a testament to the golden age of silversmithing.
