Cigarette Box

Perhaps then the Jasper one was marketed and sold in 1920 or so by that means LUT). I saw a replica of it on an Antique Show and that is how they dated it! Very interesting.

Thank you, ashdean!  Your information led me to "read-up" a bit on Danielle Steel.  Interesting and somewhat tragic background.      AP.

The Alexander II cigarette case absolutely beautiful! Is this in a private collection or State Collection?

It will be auctioned in a month.

Hi Mari,

Provenance of the cases are documented in the descriptions where known in "The Faberge case". It is a nice book with a wide range of cigarette cases (enamelled, gold, silver, steel nephrite, birch, etc.)

[Mari]

Thank you! rgt9w

Alexandre64:
Is an Auction House involved? I would like to keep up with the Auction. I wonder how much the case is estimated to bring?

[Alexandre64]

This case was evaluated 25,000 EURO.
