GOLD CIGAR PIERCER. H. HUNTLEY & SONS UNITED KINGDOM, 20TH CENTURY

An elegant cigar accessory crafted in gold and intended for piercing the end of a cigar before smoking. The object takes the form of a compact cylindrical case with a suspension ring, allowing it to be worn on a watch chain or carried among gentleman’s pocket accessories.

The body is decorated with guilloché engraving composed of rhythmic longitudinal lines that create a refined surface texture and a subtle play of light on the gold. The central section of the body is accentuated by a decorative ring joining the two parts of the case and emphasizing the strict cylindrical form of the object.

The construction is based on a retractable mechanism: by twisting the case, a spiral piercing needle emerges from the body, designed to pierce the end of a cigar with precision. This system ensures safe storage of the sharp instrument and convenient use. The spiral form of the piercer allows penetration without damaging the outer wrapper of the cigar.

The restrained decoration and clear geometry reflect the tradition of British jewelry accessories of the 20th century, where particular attention was paid to functionality, quality of metal and elegant simplicity.
