Vintage Art Deco Cigarette Case, Business Card Holder, Geometric Decoration, Silver-Coloured Metal

Lines like a miniature city skyline, a pocket relic ready for a new calling.

This vintage cigarette case brings crisp Art Deco geometry to a slender rectangular form. Fine repeating texture surrounds stepped linear ornament and a small blank central rectangular panel on one face. The reverse carries textured bands separated by parallel lines, giving each side a distinct rhythm.

Inside, a fixed retaining section with a broad curved cut-out forms a pocket within the case. Identified by the seller as a cigarette case that also works as a card holder, it offers a characterful alternative for carrying suitably sized business cards. Card fit and capacity depend on the internal dimensions and card thickness; no universal fit for bank cards or business cards is promised.
