A fine Art Deco guilloché enamel and silver gilt cigarette case hallmarked for Birmingham 1929. Would make a very elegant business card holder.
Guilloché enamel is a decorative technique combining intricate, machine-engraved patterns with layers of translucent enamel. The process begins with creating delicate, repetitive designs on a metal surface using a lathe, followed by applying enamel, often in vibrant colors. Multiple firings in a kiln bring out the design's brilliance. This method is prized in fine jewelry, watches, and luxury items, creating a luminous, textured appearance that highlights the precision and craftsmanship involved in its production.
