Product description
This is an antique cigarette case from the early 20th century, crafted in the Art Nouveau style. The piece is a fine example of French design from the period, distinguished by its elegant repoussé decoration featuring a classic female figure.
Originating from France, this case is constructed from a silver-toned metal. The front is adorned with a detailed scene of a woman in a flowing gown amidst organic, floral motifs, characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement's emphasis on natural forms. The reverse side is left unadorned, and the hinged case opens to reveal a simple interior.
The case presents with a significant and authentic patina that has developed over more than a century, attesting to its age and history. The metal surfaces, both inside and out, show the passage of time, which contributes to its antique character. The hinge and clasp mechanism remain functional.
As a decorative object, this cigarette case serves as a tangible piece of design history. It is suitable for a collector of Art Nouveau antiques or as a distinctive accent on a dressing table or in a display cabinet.
