“Item as described. Unfortunately the chess pieces were so fragile that it was necessary an intense (and expensive) restoration. No responsability of the seller, of course: he did his work properly.”

Seller's description

Specifications

May include: A rectangular, silver-toned cigarette case with a detailed relief of a horse's head and a woman. The woman is draped in flowing fabric, and the case has a tarnished appearance.

This rare vintage Soviet cigarette case is crafted from solid brass and features an expressive relief depicting a woman leaning closely against a horse — a poetic and emotional scene symbolizing trust, strength, and connection with nature. Made in the USSR circa 1930s–1950s, this piece reflects the artistic spirit and craftsmanship of the era.

Inside, the original stamp “Brass” confirms the material authenticity. This is one of the more expensive versions, distinguished by its decorative stone-set push button clasp, adding elegance and collectible value. A truly uncommon find for collectors of Soviet antiques, vintage tobacciana, or unique metalwork accessories.

Perfect as a display piece, collectible, or a memorable vintage gift.

Dimensions:
9 x 11.5 cm / 3.54 x 4.53 inches

Condition:
Good vintage condition consistent with age. Visible patina, surface wear, small scratches, and oxidation typical for brass items from this period. The relief image remains clear and expressive. Clasp mechanism works properly. No cracks or major damage.

Shipping:
Your purchase will be carefully shipped from Ukraine. Delivery time may vary depending on the destination country, ranging from 7 to 45 days. Please note that expedited shipping is not available at the moment.
