Russian Silver 84 Zolotnik Enamel Cigarette Case –

A remarkable engraved silver cigarette case, rich in history and artistic craftsmanship. This unique piece weighs 150 grams and measures 10 x 6 cm, making it a refined and collectible example of early to mid-20th century metalwork.



The front side features an intricate architectural engraving depicting a grand classical scene with domed towers and fluttering flags, radiating sunlight in the background — a composition symbolizing pride, heritage, and craftsmanship. The geometric border patterns around the scene add balance and depth, showcasing the artisan’s precision and creativity.



The reverse side presents a striking woven texture design, centered with a medallion that carries engraved inscriptions and ornamental flourishes. The contrast between the smooth silver medallion and the textured background creates a captivating interplay of light and shadow, emphasizing the high level of hand engraving skill.



This piece is not only a functional vintage cigarette case but also a miniature work of art that reflects the refined taste and meticulous attention to detail characteristic of its era. The natural patina on the silver adds warmth and authenticity, testifying to its age and genuine vintage condition.



Ideal for collectors of antique silver, lovers of engraved metalwork, or those seeking a distinctive decorative object with historical charm. A timeless piece that bridges artistry and history.
