Decorative Brass Cigarette Box, Kinco, c.1923-39
1 of 6
This is an exotic looking Early 20th Century Decorative Brass Cigarette Box with a Cedar Wood lining. The box sits on four bun feet and has lozenges of floral decoration around the body. There is an intricate carpet pattern of intertwining foliage hand coloured in red and black on the top of the lid.
The box was made in Kingston, Surrey as part of the KINCO range and dates to between 1923 and 1939. KINCO was the trademark of the firm British Metal (Kingston) Ltd, who were based in Kingston-upon-Thames in Surrey and later in St Margarets near Twickenham. Between 1923 and 1939 they produced a wide range of distinctive decorated brass ware of very high quality drawing inspiration from Egyptian, Persian, Indian and Chinese designs, which were hand coloured and then lacquered. In 1939 the firm converted completely to war work and never returned to decorative brass items.
Condition is very good, with no dings or dents, a good patina, a little rubbing to the finish on the inside of the lid and just the superficial surface wear that you would expect with use and the passage of time. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The cigarette box measures 13.1cm / 5.1ins by 8.8cm / 3.5ins and stands 4.6cm / 1.8ins high. It weighs in at 335g / 11.8oz.
The underside of the base and the inside of the lid are both stamped KINCO and Made in England.
Shipping in the UK is £6 by Royal Mail Tracked 24.
Overseas customers, please ask us about shipping costs to your country before making a purchase.
