Art Déco French Polished Black Lacquer and Silver Plated Cigarrette Box/Case

About the Item

Early 20th century Art Déco french polished black lacquer and silver plated cigarrette box/case By: unknown Material: lacquer, metal, silver, silver plate Technique: cast, molded, metalwork, lacquered, polished, plated, silvered Dimensions: 3 in x 3.5 in x 1 in Date: early 20th century Style: Art Déco Place of origin: France This sleek early 20th century french cigarette box epitomizes Art Déco elegance. Crafted from black lacquer with a silver-plated interior, its glossy exterior is defined by fluid lines and graceful curves. The lavish lacquer and fine metals reflect Art Déco’s embrace of exquisite materials and peerless craftsmanship as hallmarks of modern luxury. Emerging after WWI’s devastation, the movement found hope in industry and technology, stylizing geometric forms. Curved corners set the box’s sensuous silhouette that fits pleasingly in the palm, as stylish parisians might have discovered. Both decorative object and functional accessory, it would have housed cigarettes or cigars bound for smoky, clandestine kisses. With its striking finish and refinement, this box stands as a testament to the metalarts and lacquerwork that defined early 20th century french aesthetic at its apex.
