Crafted in 1892, it pairs the rich, supple texture of leather with a surface now glowing in a deep, warm patina and the polished gleam of solid sterling silver. The broad silver band at the top is handsomely engraved with the monogram “E.S.M.” and bears the crisp London hallmarks that confirm its distinguished origin.

Designed to accommodate three cigars, the exterior of the case measures 6 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 1 inch high, with a total weight of 63 grams. Every detail reflects the artistry and sophistication of its era: the tailored leatherwork, the seamless fit, the balance of tactile luxury with practical function. Good antique condition with light signs of wear/handling, aged color variation. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

Beyond its original purpose, this piece stands as a true objet d’art—a tangible emblem of Victorian taste, wealth, and craftsmanship. Today, it makes an exceptional tobacciana collectible, a connoisseur’s gift, or a refined statement piece for the desk, cabinet, or private library. Eye-catching and evocative, it offers not only a glimpse into a bygone age of luxury but also a conversation piece of enduring beauty. See less
