Art Deco Era Egyptian Revival Silverplate Cedar Lined Tabletop Cigarette Box
12 September 2024 by admin
For your consideration is an Art Deco era silver plated cedar lined tabletop cigarette box. Created in the Egyptian Revival style which enjoyed a fashionable renaissance during the 1920s, this is a heavy and well crafted highly decorated piece that’s unique in its design. Engraved hieroglyphics and an open filigree of Egyptian figures surrounds the exterior of the box holding a wood cigarette case with an emerald green lacquer finish. A figure of Isis supports the box at each corner. The cover is richly detailed with woven lotus blossoms intertwined with additional Egyptian figures of nobility on top, with additional decorative detailing found on the lids interior. Standing approximately 4.5″ in height, the box measures 4″ wide, 7 in length, and weighs just under 3 pounds. No hallmark was found on inspection. Areas of light wear, particularly at the corners, as well as an occasional random speck of plate loss can be found on close inspection, though these aren’t casually noticed or distracting. Otherwise the box is in beautiful vintage condition showing mild wear commensurate to age and a history of gentle well cared for use.
