The rounded rectangular form and heavy chased applied strapwork bands of Art Deco foliage that decorate this cigar box are typical of the designs of Albert L. Barney, Tiffany's head silver designer from 1919 until about 1955. It bears particular comparison to a cigar or jewelry box shown by Tiffany in the House of Jewels at the 1939 World's Fair in New York, seen at the front of the case illustrated by John Loring on p. 243 in Magnificent Tiffany Silver.
