About the Item

An exceptionally rare Austro-Hungarian silver and enamel cigarette case dating to approximately 1900, executed in the refined elegance of the Art Nouveau movement. This remarkable piece features a beautifully rendered erotic scene depicting a nude female figure reclining upon rocks, composed in soft pastel tones that perfectly capture the sensual and poetic spirit of the period. Crafted in silver with a richly finished vermeil interior, the case bears a “900” silver hallmark inside, indicating the high silver purity traditionally associated with Austro-Hungarian decorative arts of the early twentieth century. The exterior enamel is preserved in outstanding original condition, with no restorations, allowing the subtle colors and fine artistic details to remain fully intact. The flowing composition and delicate palette reflect the organic lines and romantic symbolism characteristic of Art Nouveau design, while the intimate scale transforms the object into both a functional accessory and a miniature artwork. Measuring approximately 9.5 x 8 x 1 cm, the piece possesses an elegant presence and refined craftsmanship throughout. Its exceptional state of preservation, combined with the rarity of erotic enamel decoration from this period, makes this cigarette case an important collectible for admirers of Art Nouveau silver, Austro-Hungarian decorative arts, and early twentieth-century luxury accessories.
