AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed visual description

This antique cigarette holder, typical of mid-20th century smoking accessories, features a slender, slightly conical silhouette. The main part, silver-coloured with a brushed and hammered appearance, offers a refined matte finish, evoking a sober and elegant style. The black mouthpiece contrasts sharply with the body, and ends in a flared shape, suitable for mouth-holding.

The entire object displays a clean design with no superfluous decoration, characteristic of vintage utilitarian accessories. The visible surface shows a beautiful, even patina, testifying to the object's age, with a few discreet traces of wear, typical of regular use. No logo, inscription or mark is legible on the exposed face.

Its elongated and refined general shape allowed cigarettes to be kept away from the fingers, highlighting the hygienic and aesthetic function of the cigarette holder at that time. The object is photographed on a soft-toned textile background, emphasizing the metallic texture and the sobriety of the design.

The visual contrast between the brushed metal of the stem and the black mouthpiece accentuates the retro look, while facilitating the identification of the grip area. The absence of decorations or inlaid stones underlines the utilitarian and authentic character of this smoking accessory.

This vintage cigarette holder is for those who appreciate period smoking items, whether for retro culture or mid-century style interior decoration.
