A brief introduction to Dunhill:
This accessory was made by the world famous Dunhill organization. Originally the Dunhills were harness makers. Dunhill products have always been noted for their high quality & today antique & vintage Dunhill accessories hold their prices very well indeed, with fierce bidding at auctions for the most collectible items. The head quarters for the Dunhill brand are located in the only detached mansion in Mayfair, London. The historic Grade II listed building (Bourdon House) was first erected in 1720, more than a century before the founder Alfred Dunhill was born. In 1911, the Duke of Westminster decided to purchase Bourdon House, having lent the family’s London residence, Grosvenor House, to the government as a wartime gesture of patriotism. Situated at the heart of Mayfair and like the brand Dunhill, evokes a sense of magnificent luxurious appeal. A visit to the London Home of Alfred Dunhill is an unforgettable experience which embodies the grandeur and distinction of British heritage.

To quote Alfred Dunhill from an article he wrote in 1923 -

“My experience in the motorists’ trade has convinced me that, if one can exactly meet the desires of a good class of public, time alone is necessary to make it profitable. Compared with quality, price is relatively important.”

1907 – Alfred Dunhill retires from running the Motorities business & he opens a pipe, cigar and tobacco store among the exclusive area of gentlemen’s clubs of Duke Street, St. James’s, London SW1.
1910 – Alfred Dunhill opens a pipe factory near the store, simply because he knows that the pipes his customers are using are not good enough for Dunhill tobacco and so he embarks on production of pipes that ARE good enough.

Alfred Dunhill has built its reputation on uncompromising standards in menswear, accessories and antique jewellery / jewelry.

This case is the most superbly made fully hallmarked and Dunhill signed authentic Art Deco cigarette case. A fine collector's piece. The lid, sides and base all perfectly matched engine turned designs. The shoulders slope. The case is fitted with a rose gold double thumb catch. All clasps and hinges work perfectly. The vermeil interior is excellent and both the lid and base are fully hallmarked. The base is signed "DUNHILL LONDON". The hallmarks show that this case was made for Dunhill by William Frederick Wright and assayed in London in 1924. The interior lid is inscribed in elegant script "A Happy Birthday Don, Joan, Jim 1947". The case is in excellent condition.

This superb Dunhill cigarette case external measurements are 8.8 cm X 5.6 cm (internal measurements 8.5 cm x 5.2 cm) & weighs 84.2 grams.
