About the Item

Rare 1920s Art Deco Evans Case Co. Complimentary Pair of Cigarette Cases A highly unusual and collectible pair of 1920s Art Deco cigarette cases by the celebrated Evans Case Company of Attleboro, Massachusetts. Known for their beautifully engineered and stylish designs, Evans produced some of the most striking smoking accessories of the Jazz Age, but a complementary matching pair of cigarette cases such as this is exceptionally rare. These are sold together as a pair. Each case features a bold and dramatic diagonal V motif, one rendered in deep black enamel and the other in cream enamel, both set against an airbrushed ground of abstract patterning in cream and black. This interplay of light and dark creates a striking Art Deco contrast, making the pair particularly desirable as a display set or collection centerpiece. Both cases function normally, with the signature spring-loaded interior arm stamped “Evans.” One case shows oxidation to the spring, though this does not affect performance. The enamel surfaces of each case show expected age wear, some enamel losses, and evidence of older restoration work, consistent with their nearly century-old history. The Evans Case Company, founded in the late 19th century in Attleboro, became a leader in the American production of luxury accessories in the 1920s and 1930s. Their output included compacts, vanity cases, lighters, and cigarette cases, all celebrated for combining modern mechanical innovation with the sleek aesthetics of Art Deco design. These pieces epitomized the glamour of the era, when smoking accessories were considered both personal luxuries and fashionable status symbols. While individual Evans cigarette cases are sought after, a complementary matching pair is seldom seen. The mirrored relationship between the two designs, one light, one dark, captures the Deco spirit of symmetry and balance, elevating these from personal accessories to an important decorative art statement. A rare opportunity to acquire a true pair of Evans Art Deco cigarette cases, both beautiful and functional, and an outstanding addition to any collection of Art Deco design, Evans Case Co., or luxury smoking accessories.
