Cigarette holder in amber and silver vermeillé (punch boar head), decorated with a snake wrapped around the barrel, in its original case (Gold on Silver Controlled), vintage late nineteenth century.
This cigarette holder is in good condition. Hallmarked with boar's head at the top, punch mark on the snake, a little worn and hard to see (probably a weevil).
A note: wear and lack of leather on the case, dirt and wear of time on the cigarette holder, see photos.
