About the Item

An exceptional antique German silver and enamel cigarette case dating to circa 1900, showcasing the remarkable level of craftsmanship associated with the finest Continental luxury objects of the late Art Nouveau period. Finely crafted in solid silver and bearing the original 800 silver hallmark together with the crescent moon and crown, confirming its German origin, this elegant case is both a functional accessory and a highly collectible work of decorative art. The exterior is beautifully decorated with a vibrant hand-painted enamel composition depicting a semi-nude female figure in an erotic scene, rendered with outstanding artistic detail and an impressive palette of rich colors. The enamel work remains remarkably vivid, displaying excellent depth, precision, and brilliance. Such intimate and finely executed subjects were produced in limited numbers and were intended for discerning collectors who appreciated both fine silverwork and decorative enameling. The case is in excellent original condition, with the silver retaining a beautiful patina that enhances its antique character. The hinged lid operates smoothly and closes securely, while the interior has been carefully preserved. Its compact dimensions of 8.5 cm x 6.5 cm x 1 cm make it an elegant display piece as well as a desirable addition to any collection of antique silver, tobacciana, Art Nouveau objects, or erotic decorative arts. A refined and increasingly scarce collector's item, this German silver cigarette case combines artistic quality, historical significance, and outstanding craftsmanship, making it an exceptional acquisition for collectors of European antiques and luxury objets d'art.
