About the Item

An elegant pair of antique cigarette cases crafted from natural tortoiseshell, decorated with delicate mother-of-pearl marquetry forming floral motifs and garlands. The lids feature finely worked ornamental compositions, with symmetrical plant details that stand out against the warm amber background of the tortoiseshell. The interior retains its original structure, designed to hold cigarettes or small personal items. The hinges function correctly and maintain their solid and compact shape. These are refined pieces, representative of the decorative taste of the 19th century, where the combination of fine materials and craftsmanship was fundamental. The contrast between the deep luster of the tortoiseshell and the luminosity of the mother-of-pearl creates a sophisticated and timeless visual effect. Perfect as a collector's item, a decorative desk piece, or an addition to a display case of curiosities. They exhibit wear consistent with their age, which adds character and authenticity to these unique pieces.
