Cigarette holder (4) - (Meerschaum & Bernstein

Collection of four vintage smoking accessories, consisting of one pipe and three cigarette holders, each accompanied by its fitted case. The main bodies of the pieces are predominantly made of meerschaum, a material traditionally used for pipes and cigarette holders. The mouthpieces, which come into contact with the lips, are made of amber. The collection includes a decorative pipe featuring a finely carved horse motif. One of the cigarette holders has an ornate silver-coloured metal body/sleeve decorated with raised floral and scrolling motifs. Another cigarette holder is elaborately carved and features small decorative bead-like elements, which may be amber or Bakelite. The meerschaum surfaces display attractive cream, yellow and warm brown tones, with darker areas and natural colour changes resulting from age and use. All four pieces are accompanied by their fitted cases. The cases themselves show signs of age and use, including wear, staining and deterioration to some areas of the interiors and exteriors. The smoking accessories also show age-related signs of use, surface wear, marks and discoloration, as clearly visible in the photographs. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and show the design, materials, condition, cases and measurements of the individual pieces. Number of smoking accessories: 4 One pipe and three cigarette holders, with their accompanying fitted cases.
