About the Item
An object of rare beauty and great prestige, this solid yellow gold cigarette case embodies the elegance and luxury of a bygone era. Made entirely of 18-karat gold, the minimalist yet imposing design is embellished with a central engraving that recalls noble and Masonic symbologies, hinting at a history shrouded in mystery.
This cigarette case, which probably belonged to an aristocratic family or influential social figure, is more than just an object of use: it represents a way of life, an ode to the luxury and sophistication of those who appreciate exclusivity.
1. Connection with European nobility
This cigarette case may have belonged to a European noble family or influential individual of the late 19th century or Art Deco period. The central symbol, with a crown and an all-seeing eye triangle, recalls elements of heraldry and symbols of power and enlightenment, suggesting a connection to a prestigious dynasty or order.
Objects of this kind were often commissioned by aristocrats as unique pieces, not only for their functional value but also as an expression of wealth and refinement.
2. Connection with Freemasonry
The engraved symbol-with the triangle and the all-seeing eye-is a clear allusion to themes related to Freemasonry, an influential secret organization in centuries past. This cigarette case may have been an exclusive gift between members of a Masonic order or a personal item that belonged to a high-ranking member.
During the Belle Époque and Art Deco periods, members of the elites often commissioned luxury items that incorporated esoteric symbols, to represent their status and membership in inner circles.
3. Tribute to a family or institution
The engraving could represent the coat of arms of a noble family or a historical institution, such as a Masonic lodge or cultural academy. This cigarette case might have been made as a tribute or commemoration, perhaps to mark an important event or as an exclusive gift for a distinguished person.
During Art Deco, it was common for noble families or esoteric societies to customize everyday objects with symbols that reflected their power and history.
4. Historical inspiration related to symbols
The triangle with the all-seeing eye is a symbol that evokes knowledge, protection and power, elements dear to both spiritual movements and the ruling classes. The crown above could indicate a noble figure or a connection to a royal dynasty. This type of symbolism was often used to emphasize the importance of the family or patron, combining earthly power and divine wisdom.
The central engraving, depicting a triangle with an all-seeing eye and a crown, invokes symbols of knowledge and power, evoking a possible connection with European nobility or influential secret orders.

• A European noble or aristocratic family.
• A high-ranking member of a Masonic order or esoteric institution.
