About the Item

A gorgeous cigar cutter from the Art Nouveau era c. 1890.This unique 14kt gold piece acts as a functioning cigar cutter, which was most likely worn as a fob hanging from a gentleman's watch chain. The pendant carries the traditional "teardrop" shape of an antique cigar cutter, with a hinged mechanism at the side that reveals the blade. A rose gold knob on the side is used to pull the silver blade out from the pendant. The opening at the bottom would have been used to clip the tip of a cigar as the shavings fell from the opening on the side. An artistic dragon motif decorates both sides of the pendant, coming to life in raised repousse detail. Its serpentine body wraps around the exterior, complete with a textured pattern to create a scaly appearance. The creature's tongue sticks out between sharp teeth, and two emeralds set in the eyes add a wonderful pop of color. A rose gold bail is attached to the top of the pendant. This unique cigar cutter exemplifies the aesthetic of the Art Nouveau era, and would make a perfect collector's piece! Dimensions/Weight: Cutter measures 1.5” long and .60” wide. Weighs 9.5g. Condition: No structural damage to any portion. Beautiful condition.
