GREAT!
Green Austrian Gilded Silver & Guilloche Enamel
Pierced Cigarette Case
This case has been decorated with an incredible vivid green guilloche enamel and has a cobalt blue trim line around the panels. I have never seen this color before. It is really striking. it has pierced corners on the top and is enameled on every side except the base.
It is a very heavy and top quality case, the workmanship is superb. It's perfect, except for one chip to the side panel (See picture...), other than that is absolutely excellent with no other damage anywhere. It measures 90mm x 63mm and weights 157 grams.
The cigarette case has NOT been engraved with the previous owners initials or monogram and the inside of the case has been impressed with an Austro-Hungarian Empire 900 solid silver Diana Head along with the makers as photographed. I estimate that this case was made circa 1900 to 1910.
The siver markings are clearly legible although the case does have some light surface scratches that are to be expected and a gentle clean would not go amiss.
Personally I think that the condition and quality are out of this world considering that this cigarette case is over 100 years old!
This Rare Fantastic quality Austro Hungarian Empire Solid Silver Gilt Pierced, Guilloche Decorated Cigarette Case is one of several pieces from my collection (which I will list one by one.)
