About the Item

Striking 1920s Art Deco Black Enamel and Red Lacquer Cigarette Case This striking 1920s Art Deco cigarette case epitomizes the sleek sophistication of the Jazz Age. Its bold geometric design featuring mirrored V-shaped inlays of black and white eggshell enamel accented by sharp red lacquer lines creates a dynamic visual tension that perfectly captures the modernist aesthetic of the period. Beautifully proportioned, the case is sizable in width and height yet elegantly slim in depth, designed to slip effortlessly into a tuxedo pocket for a night out at the club or cocktail bar. The craftsmanship is exceptional: the surface is a smooth, deep black enamel with contrasting textured inlays, exuding quiet luxury and precision typical of fine French or Continental Deco metalwork. Though unmarked, the case bears a maker’s stamp resembling a shield with a “W” inside a “V” and an arrow, flanked by a small 9 (or 6) on either side. The interior is elegantly finished and remains clean with only mild discoloration from age free of dents or significant damage. The metal frame, likely silver plate (untested), opens and closes smoothly with a satisfying click. Exterior condition shows gentle surface wear and a few minor edge losses, consistent with careful use and nearly a century of age. Art Deco cigarette cases such as this were treasured accessories in the 1920s and 1930s symbols of status, taste, and the cosmopolitan flair of the era. They reflected the influence of leading designers such as Jean Dunand, Raymond Templier, Paul Brandt, and Gérard Sandoz, who elevated functional objects to sculptural art. Today, these unique pieces are highly collectible both for their design and for the cultural glamour they embody.
