19th C. Georgian Continental Tortoiseshell Cigar Case With Vermeil Silver Mounts
778,89 €
Informazioni sull’articolo
This refined cigar case is executed in richly figured tortoiseshell, shaped in a gently contoured rectangular form with softly rounded ends, the exterior polished to a deep translucent luster revealing variegated amber, umber, and near-black mottling characteristic of high-quality shell. The hinged construction opens to a fitted interior lined with tortoiseshell panels and secured by elastic retaining bands, designed to cradle cigars securely while in use or transport.
The case is fitted with finely worked vermeil mounts, the gilded sterling silver hardware comprising the hinge, clasp, and interior fittings. The metalwork exhibits restrained decorative engraving and a warm gold tone consistent with fire-gilded or heavy gold-washed silver, providing a subtle yet luxurious contrast to the organic surface of the shell. The clasp mechanism is precise and well-balanced, indicative of careful hand assembly.
In both material choice and form, this cigar case reflects Continental luxury accessory traditions of the late 19th to early 20th century, when tortoiseshell objects with precious-metal mounts were favored by the European bourgeoisie and traveling elite. Such cases were not merely utilitarian but functioned as personal statements of taste, discretion, and refinement. The overall execution suggests a skilled, unidentified maker working within established European workshop practices for luxury smoking accessories.
