Modern Tobacco Accessories

MODERN STYLE

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”

Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.

Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chaircrafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.

It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

ALFRED DUNHILL London Round Cigar Cutter In Steel & .925 Sterling Silver In Box
Located in Miami, FL
A cigar cutter designed by Alfred Dunhill. This is a beautiful near mint cigar-cutter, created in London England by the Alfred Dunhill Company. The cigar cutter has been crafted in a round shape in solid .925/.999 sterling silver and decorated with engine turned Barley guilloche pattern. The guillotine blade is made of tempered stainless steel with brushed finish. Properly signed and stamped with the Dunhill's logo. Brand: Dunhill. Model: Round Cigar Cutter. Produced: 1980. Material: .925 Sterling silver and steel. Weight: 33.2 Grams, (21.30 Dwt). Measurements: Diameter of 46 mm and a thickness of 3 mm (1.81 x 0.12 Inches). Hallmarks: Stamped with the maker's mark, the mark for the assay of the silver, and signed in full, "DUNHILL LONDON MADE IN ENGLAND". Alfred Dunhill He inherited his father’s London saddlery in 1893. Following the increase in motor car ownership, Alfred developed the business to include motoring accessories, which he called ‘Dunhill’s Motorities’. This included goggles, timepieces, picnic sets, and leather coats, and it wasn’t long before the brand became associated with men’s general motoring attire. They opened two shops in Mayfair and had a catalogue of over 1300 items. Between the 1904 and 1905, Dunhill introduced their ‘Windshield Pipe’, to help drivers combat the effect of wind and travel on their ability to smoke. This marked both the end of the ‘motorities’ focus and their entry into the world of smoking ephemera, and they shortly opened their first tobacconist in 1907 on Duke Street. The proximity to several esteemed Private Members Clubs around the Mayfair, St James’ area ensured that the venture was a success. (From Nicholas Wells With Thanks). Collateral: This cigar cutter is accompanied by the original designer's fitted box. Condition: The overall condition of this Dunhill cigar...
