Art Deco silver plate Cigarette Box with monogram, 1930s

While similar pieces with an ovoid profile pointed at the corners are usually described as tea caddies, the flat flush fitting top here, which is not hinged as those of its counterparts are, suggests that this piece was intended rather for cigarettes. The clean lines clearly point to Art Deco and a dating to the late 1920s or 1930s seems likely. By way of example, a similar silver tea caddy made for Harrods has hallmarks for 1922. This is a fine quality item and has, in addition, an elaborate monogram to the lid, presumably containing the original owner’s initials. This was cast separately and fitted to the lid with staples. The device is elaborate but the letters ‘G’, ‘W’, ‘A’ and ‘F’ can be made out although their correct ordering must remain uncertain.
