Mellerio dits Meller Sterling Silver & 18k Gold Box
Found in France
A rare vintage sterling silver and 18k gold cigarette box by Mellerio dits Meller, the legendary Parisian jeweler regarded as the oldest continuously operating jewelry house in the world. Beautifully handcrafted in France, this elegant case pairs solid sterling silver with a striking 18k gold center panel, framed by deeply ribbed fluted silver borders that create a distinctly architectural composition.
Opening to reveal its interior, the case was designed to hold cigarettes but today serves beautifully as a credit or business card holder, note case, or refined desk accessory. Its combination of precious metals, geometric design, and understated luxury reflects the sophisticated Parisian aesthetic for which Mellerio has long been renowned.
The interior is signed MELLERIO DITS MELLER, bears the French hallmarks, numbers, maker's marks, and retains its original stock number 2494 D, further affirming its authenticity and craftsmanship.
An exceptional object from one of France's most historic luxury maisons, this case is equally appealing to collectors of fine silver, French decorative arts, and luxury accessories.

Who Are You Buying From?
Every object here has a journey before it ever reaches you. I've spent years seeking these pieces out, in back rooms of old ateliers, from families who've inherited more than they can keep, through dealers I've come to trust, in conversations with people who still work with their hands, because I've always believed the things we choose to live with should carry something true. What began as a private obsession became a devotion, one I now share with my wife and daughter, who remind me daily that the best collections are the ones built to be passed down, not simply owned. What you're holding isn't just an object. You're inheriting its story, and becoming part of its next chapter.
