Positioned in the upper left corner of the cover is a remarkable hand-painted enamel portrait of a horse’s head, exquisitely rendered with vivid color and lifelike detail. The artist’s careful brushwork beautifully captures the animal’s alert gaze and natural grace, creating a captivating focal point that immediately draws the eye. Balanced against this is an intertwined monogram, “KG,” in the lower right corner, lending a distinguished, personalized touch to this already exquisite piece.

Upon opening the case, you’ll find a worn gilded gold interior that radiates warmth and opulence. An engraved sweetheart-style inscription, likely in Austrian German, offers a tender glimpse into its storied past — a personal sentiment carried through time. Dated 1922, this case hails from the height of the Roaring Twenties, a period of indulgent style and tailored sophistication.

Weighing a substantial 126 grams, the case exudes both quality and durability, further assured by clear hallmarks for 900 silver purity. Externally, it measures 3 3/16 inches by 3 1/2 inches, it feels wonderfully balanced in hand — a fine example of antique tobacciana meant to be both admired and used. Please note, this case was designed for shorter, vintage-style cigarettes and does not accommodate modern credit cards or business cards. We encourage you to review the listed dimensions carefully to ensure it suits your intended use, particularly if you plan to store items of a specific size. In good antique condition, showing expected light surface wear and a few small dimple dents consistent with age and use, though nothing to detract from its handsome presentation. The enamel portrait remains in very good condition. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

More than a simple accessory, this cigarette case is a piece of wearable art and equestrian heritage. Its blend of exceptional craftsmanship, bespoke detailing, and period elegance captures the spirit of Ralph Lauren’s signature country club and sporting estate aesthetic. Ideal for collectors of fine tobacciana, antique silver, or equestrian décor, it’s perfectly suited for display, personal use, or as a distinctive conversation piece. See less
