About the Item

A large 18K yellow gold Prince Troubetskoy Russian Armorial cigar fob tool medallion created by Maison Arthus Bertrand with Eloi Pernet surgical steel cutting mechanism which includes cigar scissors, file and knife. 1940's This unique 18K gold cigar tool was created for Prince Igor Nikolayevich Troubetskoy (1912-2008) a Russian/French aristocrat and race car driver who was the driver of the first Ferrarri to compete in Grand Prix racing at the Monaco Grand Prix. Together with Count Bruno Sterzi, Prince Igor started Scuderia Inter racing team, the name of which Ferrarri subsequently used for their first Grand Touring car, the Ferrarri 166 Inter. The duo were among Ferrari's first clients, purchasing three Ferrarri 166 S in 1947. The following year, Igor Troubetskoy made headlines when he married Barbara Woolworth Hutton, the American heiress, socialite and philanthropist whom the press dubbed "Poor Little Rich Girl". This fabulous fob bears the Troubetskoy family crest on one side and a pair of portrait profiles on the other, those of Igor and Barbara. It was given to Igor by Barbara as a wedding present. This piece was created by the esteemed Maison Arthus Bertrand, the famed Parisian House specializing in heraldic jewels, medallions and medals. The Maison was chosen to create the Grand Collier de la Légion d'Honneur, reserved for Heads of State in 1953 and over the years, has collaborated with artists such as Philippe Stark, Auguste Bartholdi, Fernand Léger, César, Arman, Niki de Saint-Phalle and Claude and François-Xavier Lalane. The cigar tools were crafted by Eloi Pernet, founded in 1920 and named Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 1925, the company produces creations for renowned houses such as Hermès, Dupont, Vuitton and Dunhill. The House of Troubetskoy, originally of Lithuanian origin played an important role in the early history of Russia. In 1612, Prince Dmitry Timofeievich Troubetskoy and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky successfully defeated the Polish army to liberate Moscow. Prince Dmitry Troubetskoy was asked to take the Tzar's throne, but chose to accept the governorship of Siberia. The current branch of the family descend from Yuriy Troubetskoy who returned to Moscow in the 1660's by invitation of Tzar Alexis Romanov of Russia and married the Princess Irina Galitzina. Members of this illustrious family included notable diplomats, Field Marshalls, statesmen, philosophers, historians, a Decembrist, a senator and artists. Of the latter, Prince Paolo Troubetskoy was a world renown sculptor whom George Bernard Shaw once described as " the most astonishing sculptor of modern times". A fabulous, one-of-a-kind piece for a cigar afficionado, collector of Russian Imperial objects and connoisseur of memorable conversation pieces. This piece also makes a handsome, substantial medallion, a style popularized by Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier in their Zodiac lines and Bulgari in Monette.
