Vintage Kigu Cigarette Case, Vintage Kigu Card Case, Hummingbird Cigarette Holder, Mid Century British Vanity Accessory, Gold Tone Kigu Case
A beautiful vintage Kigu cigarette or card case featuring an elegant hummingbird and botanical design to the front, set against a soft ivory cream background with a glossy finish. Made by Kigu, one of the most respected British makers of vanity and smoking accessories, this piece has a wonderfully refined mid-century feel and displays beautifully both closed and open.
The front is decorated with two hummingbirds amongst stylised flowers and foliage, giving it a softer and more decorative appearance than many traditional cigarette cases from the era. The reverse features an attractive gold tone engine-turned finish, while the interior remains wonderfully clean with its original sprung clip intact.
Its compact proportions make it ideal as either a cigarette case, business card holder or elegant storage piece for notes and small keepsakes. Pieces like this were designed for a time when even practical handbag accessories were beautifully made and intended to complement a powder compact, lipstick case or vanity set.
This example presents exceptionally well overall with a bright glossy finish, crisp detailing and a particularly clean interior. The hummingbird artwork is vibrant and eye-catching, making this a lovely display piece as well as a practical vintage accessory.
A charming and increasingly collectible vintage Kigu piece with timeless mid-century elegance.
