German 800 silver with hand-painted enamel hunting scene SS283

A substantial antique German cigarette case executed in 800 silver, featuring a finely hand-painted enamel plaque of two hunting hounds over a fallen stag within a winter forest setting. The scene is rendered with strong depth and tonal control, capturing the cold atmosphere and naturalistic movement typical of high-quality continental enamel work. The interior retains its original gilt finish, and the case is clearly struck with the German crescent moon and crown alongside 800, confirming national standard silver. A large and weighty example, combining sporting subject matter with refined craftsmanship and collector appeal.
