51047-Rare French Art Deco Silver Slim Pocket Case

51047-Rare French Art Deco Silver Slim Pocket Case This 1920s French silver case exemplifies Art Deco craftsmanship with its ultra-slim 0.6 cm profile and sophisticated engine-turned geometric patterns. It is more than just a piece of silverware; it is a historical accessory reflecting the social etiquette of the early 20th century. Originally, this case was precision-engineered to hold a gentleman’s "Matchbook". The internal tension flap was specifically designed to secure the cardboard base of the matchbook, protecting the delicate matches from being crushed in a pocket and ensuring they remained organized when the case was opened. As lifestyles have evolved, this specialized case has found new life through its versatile modern functions. Today, it is highly prized by collectors as a "Stamp Box," where the internal flap keeps stamps flat and protected from damage. It is also perfectly suited for carrying daily medication, toothpicks, or decorative stationery stickers. The rarity of its ultra-slim form and its tactile opening mechanism make this a unique addition to any antique silver collection. *Content: Pocket Case x1 *Size: L6.4 x W5.2 x H0.6 cm *Weight: 35g *Material: French Solid Silver (800) *Origin: France *Hallmark: Boar's Head (800 Silver) *Year: Circa 1920s - 1930s Reference code : W60209-2300 ⚠️ Please note: Antique or vintage objects have historical wear&tear of use regardless of color and surface.
