Cellini Sterling Silver Hammered Cigar Humidor in Arts & Crafts/ Art Deco Style

About the Item

Cellini, hand-hammered, sterling silver and wood cigar humidor with WOLS applied on it, in Arts & Crafts or Art Deco style in an elegant geometric design. It measures 6 7/8'' in height with the lid (6 1/4'' without the lid) by 4 2/3'' in diameter at the base and bears hallmarks as shown. Cellini Craft, Ltd., was a subsidiary business of The Cellini Shop, a small Evanston retailer specializing in handwrought jewelry and silver tableware, owned by brothers Ernest and Walter Gerlach. Ernest, trained in Marshall Field & Company's crafts shops in Chicago, opened the shop in 1914; Walter, who studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, joined him as designer and silversmith in 1919. Hans Grag, who had owned an art metal studio in his native Germany, joined the firm around 1926. Soon after Hans Grag's arrival, they began making hollowware in hammered aluminum in addition to handwrought silver. We hand polish all items before shipping them out, but if there is interest for a professional polishing and/or engraving removal, we can take care of that for an additional charge and with delayed shipping.
