Description
Offered for sale is an antique silvered cigarette case, beautifully decorated with a hand-painted enamel hunting scene.
The front features a finely rendered sporting dog retrieving game, set within a pastoral landscape with vivid colors and excellent detail—typical of late 19th / early 20th century European decorative work. The painting is executed directly onto the case, giving it strong visual appeal and collectible character.
The interior is stamped “ALPACCA”, indicating an alpaca silver (nickel silver) alloy, commonly used in high-quality continental cases of the period. One inner panel is personally engraved “Ronald Rivett 24”, suggesting a presentation or personal ownership engraving.
