About the Item
Rare Art Deco Dunhill Silver-Plated
Lacquered Cigarette Case with Coquille d’Œuf Inlay – Circa 1930
This stunning Art Deco Dunhill cigarette case is a masterpiece of elegant design and expert craftsmanship, featuring a silver-plated brass body with a meticulously lacquered coquille d’œuf (eggshell) inlay. The intricate pattern—composed of tightly placed, tiny eggshell fragments—forms a striking jagged chevron or lightning bolt motif, set against a deep black lacquered surface, a hallmark of high-style 1930s Art Deco design.
The case opens smoothly from the top, unfolding to reveal a beautifully engine-turned interior with a repeated circular machined pattern in the silver-plated brass. Inside, an elegant sliding bar ensures cigarettes remain securely in place. The base is clearly stamped "Dunhill - HAFPAK - London". A dedicated monogram plate remains unengraved, awaiting its perfect set of initials.
The Legacy of Dunhill Cigarette Cases
Dunhill, a name synonymous with luxury smoking accessories, became renowned in the early 20th century for producing some of the finest Art Deco cigarette cases, lighters, and smoking accouterments. Combining high-end materials with modernist design influences, Dunhill catered to the tastes of discerning collectors, Hollywood elites, and European aristocracy. Their cigarette cases, particularly those featuring lacquer, guilloché, or precious metalwork, remain highly collectible and sought after by vintage luxury enthusiasts and Art Deco connoisseurs.
