Hallmarked in London in 1947 by Padgett & Braham Ltd., this very handsome, Sterling Silver Cigarette Box, is in the Art Deco taste, with a deep engine turned surface and a solid gold thumb piece. The design is likely by Stanley Padgett. The cigarette box measures 1.75"(4.5cm) tall, by 6.5"(16.5cm) wide, by 4"(10cm) deep. A similar size, engine turned cigarette box (slightly different in design) is attributed to Stanley Padgett and illustrated in 'Treasures of the 20th Century' by The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, London 2000. Item no. 99.
