Title: Antique 9ct Gold Mounted Amber Cheroot Holder in Engraved Silver Case
Description: Antique 9ct Gold Mounted Amber Cheroot Holder in Engraved Silver Case

A particularly attractive early 20th century English amber cheroot holder, housed within its original finely engraved sterling silver case.

The holder is fashioned from richly coloured translucent amber of warm honey-orange tone, with a gently faceted form and flattened mouthpiece.
It is finished with a solid 9 carat gold collar, fully hallmarked with the Birmingham assay mark and 375 standard mark.

The fitted cylindrical silver case is finely hand engraved with trailing ivy and foliate decoration against a textured ground, with polished reserves and decorative borders.
The case has a hinged domed cover and suspension ring, originally allowing it to be carried from an Albert or watch chain.
The interior is silver gilt, providing an attractive contrast to the engraved exterior.
Fully hallmarked with date code for 1927

An attractive and increasingly collectable gentleman's smoking accessory, particularly appealing for the combination of richly coloured amber, solid 9ct gold and finely engraved silver.
