Vintage Gold Tone Snakeskin Cigarette Case | Mid Century Cigarette Holder | Retro Tobacciana Case | 10cm x 8cm

A striking vintage cigarette case featuring an unusual snakeskin-effect design in shimmering gold tones. The textured lid combines an abstract reptile-style pattern with a geometric grid overlay, giving the piece a bold mid-century glamour and a wonderfully sophisticated retro look.

Inside, the case opens to reveal a clean gold tone interior with the original cigarette retaining bar still present. Slim and elegant in shape, this piece would work beautifully as a traditional cigarette case, card holder, or small keepsake box.

Dating to approximately the 1950s–1960s, the design has a wonderfully stylish cocktail-era feel, evocative of vintage evening bags, old-Hollywood glamour, and classic mid-century accessories. The unusual snakeskin pattern gives it a more dramatic and fashion-forward appearance than standard floral or engine-turned cases.

Condition is good vintage condition overall with age-related wear consistent with use and age. There are areas of wear, surface marks, patina, and ageing to the finish, particularly around the edges and corners, all adding to the authentic vintage character of the piece.

A lovely addition to any vintage cigarette case collection, retro vanity display, or mid-century tobacciana collection.
