Art Déco Cigarette Dispenser, ATLA, Denmark

Cigarette dispenser by Cohr & Company, Denmark, circa 1930-1940 

Elegant cigarette case by the traditional Danish company Cohr & Company, crafted from silver-plated metal from the ATLA product line.

The cigarette dispenser opens on four sides. The cigarettes inside are held in place by ridges. The front of the square case is decorated with an owner's monogram, and the inside of the lid features a dedication engraving. The base is adorned with a finely embossed palmette frieze.

Condition: slightly worn. One of the ridges holding the cigarettes is missing from one side panel.

This cigarette case is a prime example of Danish silversmithing between Art Deco and Functionalism. Its austere, architectural lines, combined with delicate decoration, reflect the clear aesthetic of Scandinavian metalwork during the interwar period.
