Gold and diamond cigarette or card case by Edouard Husson, rectangular shape, decorated with smooth parallel stripes alternating with guilloche stripes creating a play of matte and burnished. The hinged lid is decorated with a rosette and small diamonds. This is framed by a frieze of stylised laurel. This same decoration is found on the perimeter of the case. A pusher set with small diamonds allows the opening of this box. A compartment located on one side of the case opens on a scraper and contained the matches.
Gold hallmark: Greek doctor's head. From 1838.
