ART
NOUVEAU EROTIC MERMAID CIGARETTE CASE, signed "SILVEROIN", late 1800's
to early 1900's, with three mermaids -- the one at the top left is
arched back to kiss the one on the top right, the third one's tail is intertwined
with the other 2, all around them are waves -- it is easier to see
the image in person than on my photos (shininess causes too much glare);
case is a curved pocket shape to go into a man's pocket; I have been told
variously that silveroin is "a nickel silver", "a nickel alloy" and "white
brass". I gave it a light polishing so I could be certain to report
the condition correctly, and it polished up like silver;
Inside the case
is a springed piece of metal to hold the cigarettes in place; the case
is are about 3 1/2" - 3 1/4" long, It is about 1/2" thick on the
edges and about 3/4" thick in the middle;
Condition: Overall,
this ia a lovely piece -- looking bright and smooth. The top
of the case with the scene is in excellent condition. I cannot call
it perfect because it does have some very light overall scratching which
would come from light use -- but it is very light and does not detract
from the piece. There are no repairs or dents. The sides
show slightly more wear, but again nothing detracting. It is obvious
that the previous owner took special care to protect the top of the
piece because the the bottom does show wear. It has some scratching
and a line of a disruption in the surface (It does not look like corrosion
or pitting, but it is more in the surface than a scratch) on the bottom
right corner. The bottom looks much better than it does in the picture
as overall the back looks shiny. The flash over-emphasizes the scratches
of course. #TB30990 $130.00
