This cigar case, made in Poland around 1920, embodies the refined spirit of late European Art Deco, where precision craftsmanship merges with decorative artistry. The elongated, oval shape with softly rounded ends is defined by an organic, geometric guilloché pattern worked into the silver-plated metal. Contrasting warm-toned brass accents—seen on the discreet ball-clasp closure and fully integrated hinge—distinguish themselves against the cool, silvery-grey body. The gently convex surface displays a subtle interplay of textures: areas of soft matte finish, deeper patina, and minor scratches echo the authentic passage of time. The construction focuses on practical elegance, offering a compact form (11.5 x 3 x 2 cm) suited to holding a single cigar. Preserved in good condition, the piece shows natural patina and period-typical signs of use without compromising its collectible character.
The case tells a quiet story of the interwar era: a time of travel, understated gestures, and innovation woven with discreet luxury. The guilloché pattern—resembling scales or polished stones—evokes the Art Deco pursuit of geometry inspired by the organic world and an enduring appreciation for refined simplicity. Brass detailing infuses a touch of warmth, hinting at the world of private salons, where such objects functioned both as practical accessories and as personal talismans. Subtle yet evocative, the case brings to mind the ceremonious rituals and cultivated style of its time.
