Description

Made from 18k gold, all surfaces of this stunning cigarette case are shaped to resemble a basket weave. Each strand is cast with detailing reminiscent of a rope texture, aiding in the realistic depiction of a basket weave.

The box opens with a push of a central, smooth button which releases the hinged cover. The inside of the piece reveals the reverse of the basket weave design, onto which cigarettes or other pieces such as jewellery can be placed.  

The piece is marked ‘750’, alongside other makers’ marks.

The unusual way in which the 18k gold has been formed makes this an exceptionally rare piece, perfect for both men and women.
