No Reserve Price - Cigarette box - Composite - Cigarette case

Portasigarette dallo stile elegante e rétro, probabilmente risalente agli anni '50 o '60. Portasigarette a scatto con spada Anni 1950–1970 Origine: Francia Questo portasigarette è un raffinato oggetto da salotto, progettato per contenere sigarette in maniera ordinata e scenografica. Il design richiama lo stile aristocratico, con uno stemma in rilievo sul contenitore, che suggerisce nobiltà o un'estetica da club privato. La caratteristica più affascinante è la spada dorata sulla sommità, che funge da leva: tirandola verso l'alto il meccanismo a scatto solleva le sigarette, disponendole a ventaglio per facilitarne la presa. La sua origine è francese, anche se questi portasigarette venivano venduti e prodotti in diverse varianti in Europa e perfino in Giappone nel dopoguerra. Oggetti come questo erano spesso posizionati su tavolini da caffè o scrivanie in salotti borghesi, utilizzati per offrire le sigarette agli ospiti in modo elegante e teatrale. Il gesto di apertura del cilindro per offrire le sigarette era un piccolo spettacolo sociale, parte del rituale del fumo che all’epoca aveva ancora un'aura di raffinatezza.

Elegant and retro style cigarette case, probably dating back to the 50s or 60s.
Snap-on cigarette case with sword
1950s–1970s
Origin: France
This cigarette case is a refined living room object, designed to hold cigarettes in an orderly and scenographic manner. The design recalls the aristocratic style, with a coat of arms in relief on the container, suggesting nobility or a private club aesthetic. The most fascinating feature is the golden sword on the top, which acts as a lever: by pulling it upwards, the snap mechanism lifts the cigarettes, arranging them in a fan shape for easy grip.
Its origin is French, although these cigarette cases were sold and produced in different variations in Europe and even in Japan in the post-war period.
Objects like this were often placed on coffee tables or desks in bourgeois living rooms, used to offer cigarettes to guests in an elegant and theatrical way. The gesture of opening the cylinder to offer cigarettes was a small social spectacle, part of the smoking ritual that at the time still had an aura of refinement.
The photos are an integral part of the description.
I insure in the material expenses and preparation of the suitable packaging for a safe shipment with rapid tracking.
