Authentic Antique Erhard & Söhne Brass Cigarette Box
Excellent collector's find! An authentic German Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) brass cigarette / trinket box crafted by the renowned manufacture Erhard & Söhne (Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany), dating back to the early 20th century (circa 1910-1920s).
• Design: The lid features a stunning high-relief repousse design depicting playful cherubs (putti) surrounded by intricate floral scrolls, rocaille ornaments, and beaded borders.
• Interior: Fully lined with its original, clean cedar wood inserts — a premium feature originally designed to maintain proper humidity for tobacco, now perfect for safe jewelry or trinket storage.
• Hallmark: Features the rare, authentic Erhard & Söhne tiny maker's mark (the iconic Aquamanile Lion stamp) impressed on the internal brass surface. Nearly invisible to the naked eye, it guarantees 100% authenticity.
• Dimensions: Approx. 5" x 4" x 2" (12.7 x 10 x 5 cm).
Condition: Beautiful vintage condition with gorgeous age-earned patina. The brass hasn't been over-cleaned or chemically polished to preserve its historical value. The wooden lining is intact, clean, and sits tightly. No major dents or damage. Hinges work smoothly.
