Art Deco Circa 1930
From our Accessories collection, we are pleased to offer this Novelty Car Shaped Cigarette Case from the Art Deco Period. The Cigarette Case shaped as an abstract car with four movable wheels features two lucite lids which hinge open to access the cigarettes. To the top of the case there is a small ball handle which features a shagreen panel with match striker to the underside and vesta box beneath for storing matches. The Cigarette Case dates to the prolific Art Deco period and the first half of the 20th century circa 1930.
Shagreen is a leather made from sharkskin or the skin of a Stingray. This type of Shagreen was first made popular by Jean-Claude Galluchat (d1774) a master leather worker in the Court of Louis XV in France. It became a fashion amongst the French aristocracy and later throughout Europe. Shagreen is derived from the French word “Chagrin”.
Art Deco was a style of visual arts, architecture, and product design that first appeared in France in the 1910s. It flourished in the United States and Europe during the 1920s to early 1930s. It was hugely prevalent through styling and design of the exterior and interior of anything from large structures to small objects and even influenced fashion and jewellery. Art Deco has influenced bridges, buildings, ships, ocean liners, trains, cars, trucks, buses, furniture, and everyday objects like radios and vacuum cleaners. It has become extremely popular today and is highly desirable to collectors and trendsetters in the fashion industry.
