Alex & Co Cigarette Case Siam Silver And Black Niello
Vintage cigarette case by Alex & Co, dating to the 1930s and crafted in traditional Thai Siam silver. This striking piece features a detailed relief of the dancing goddess Mani Mekhala, a figure from Thai mythology associated with lightning and the sea.
The dancing figure itself is rendered in sterling silver, standing out against a black niello background that surrounds the image and enhances the contrast and detail of the design. The combination of bright silver and dark niello is characteristic of Siam silver pieces from this period and gives the scene wonderful depth.
The case measures approximately 3.75 inches by 3 inches and is stamped “Alex & Co” on the interior. Pieces like this are highly collectible for their craftsmanship, cultural imagery, and Art Deco–era styling.
