A beautifully formed antique sterling silver cheroot or cigarette holder in a distinctive bullet shape, set at the opening with a delicate split pearl detail. The telescopic inner piece pulls out and can be removed entirely if preferred — leaving a clean open chamber perfect for keepsakes, a lock of hair, a rolled note or a tiny charm. A versatile and beautifully made piece that works equally well as a collector's curiosity or something altogether more personal.
Excellent antique condition. Split pearl is present and secure. Telescopic mechanism functions correctly and removes cleanly.
