We present at auction an elegant and exclusive lot consisting of two magnificent pieces of European silver from the early 20th century. An ideal set for antique silver collectors, lovers of vintage vanity items, or anyone seeking pieces with history and exceptional craftsmanship.

· Manufacturer: Thomas & Marshall.
· Details: Finely engraved cigarette case with vegetal and scroll motifs, featuring a central monogram. The interior has a vermeil finish (gold wash over silver) that adds a touch of distinction and helps preserve the metal.
· Marks: The duty marks are clearly visible on the interior: the Anchor (Birmingham Assay Office), the Passing Lion (sterling silver 925), the date letter "W" (1921), and the silversmith’s mark "T&M".
2. Austro-Hungarian 800 Silver Cup with Lid - Circa 1867-1922

Gift:
A charming vintage baby spoon from the American firm 1881 Rogers is included completely free of charge as a symbolic courtesy.
Condition:
Both solid silver pieces are generally well preserved for their age. They show minor wear, micro-scratches, and logical imperfections from time and use (please inspect the attached photos closely).
Shipping:
The lot will be securely packed, shipped with tracking, and insured by registered mail to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.
Insured shipping to all of Europe
shipping to the rest of the world is possible, provided the buyer handles the customs procedures and payments, ensuring receipt of the order. Shipments will be made with insured value of the purchase and will only be delivered upon the recipient’s signature and identification.
