A substantial George V sterling silver cigarette case of ergonomically curved "body-fitting" form, hallmarked Sheffield, 1929. The exterior is decorated with [engine-turned] patterns and features a small personalized engraving to the upper corner. The interior retains its original rich gold wash (gilt) finish, a luxury feature of the period. This heavy-gauge piece (161g) exemplifies the sophisticated functionalism of late 1920s British silversmithing.
Maker: Attributed to a major Sheffield firm (e.g., Walker & Hall)
Material: .925 Sterling Silver with Gilt Interior
Period: High Art Deco (1929)
Weight: 161g
Condition: Excellent; gilding remains vibrant, hinges are tight and flush.
Auctioneer's Note: The combination of the heavy 161g weight and the preserved interior gilding makes this a superior example for the serious Art Deco collector.
