The Sliver Cigarette Box

A family heirloom, an aged silver case that once housed cigarettes with a crest embossed onto the front, from the 1880s, France. It was discovered in a house in Amiens. The owner of the house is one of the last organ builders in France. The organ building is a regulated handwork profession of designing, building, restoring and maintaining pipe organs. This family dates back to the 17th century. However, the house was destroyed in an arson.
