Large Hallmarked Silver Business Card Case 1940s
A rare fully hallmarked silver business card / cigarette case crafted in Arabian in the 1940s.
Allegorical cases made from hallmarked silver are extremely rare.
This piece is superb.
As you can see the scene shows a woman offering a weary man something to drink.
The engraving is very fine & the silversmith has rendered the clothes in such a way that they feel like they have the texture of garments.
The area appears not to be dessert but quite lush with hills, vegetation & trees.
Two charming ibis just to the left of the woman.
Push the thumb catch to open the case & the spring loaded catch ensures that the case glides open.
All clasps & hinges work perfectly.
An elastic strap is still in place.
This large case easily has enough room for the largest business cards, credit cards & cigarettes too.
As image six shows the case is fully hallmarked silver.
The base is decorated with the most beautiful engraving.
A very impressive gift.
This solid silver cigarette / card case measures just over 4 1/2 inches X 3 1/4 inches. Weighs 159 grams.
