Made slightly earlier than typical early Victorian cigar cases, this case features classical Georgian characteristics. Its quality and gauge are superb and a cut above the rest of what one may usually expect from later-period cheroot cases. Crafted from a thick gauge of silver, the case has a very satisfying and reassuring feel in hand with a heavy lid and secure closure. Its quality is equally matched by a timeless engine-turned motif that embellishes the case throughout, leaving space for only modest yet impactful decorations. The top features a small round cartouche with a monogram hand-engraved and our favourite highlight point on the case: a fabulous quality thumbpiece right by the lid to aid with opening. The thumbpiece is applied cast silver, which has then been meticulously hand-chased with floral and foliate motifs, similar to what one would find on a snuff box, but contouring to the curved edge. Such a small yet brilliant decoration to what may otherwise be a simple utilitarian feature/object reflects a 'no-cost cut' attitude and the fine craftsmanship of the era. Whether it be a wonderful collectable object of vertu or a practical case for the discerning individual, it is bound to be a conversation starter and the perfect accoutrement for the distinguished collector. Additionally, with some creative uses, it may also be used to hold some small sweets, objects or medicine in the modern day. A full set of English hallmarks is present on the inner 'lip' of the case.
