Vintage pocket cigarette case crafted in the USSR during the 1950s to 1960s, featuring an exceptionally detailed and classic high-relief artistic depiction of one of Moscow's most recognizable cultural landmarks—the Bolshoi Theater (Grand Theater).
The front lid showcases a beautiful, sharp architectural stamping capturing the magnificent facade of the historic theater building, complete with its grand pediment and famous eight-column portico. In the foreground, the scenic composition beautifully includes the iconic water fountain still located on Theater Square. The entire central image is enclosed within an elegant, ornate frame composed of flowing floral leaf scrollwork and intricate curls. Made from premium metal by the prominent Moscow plant "Metallodetal", this highly collectible mid-century item has been meticulously restored: the metal has been professionally cleaned and polished, minor touch-ups have been carefully applied where the original finish was lost, and new elastic bands have been fitted inside to ensure full functionality while preserving its authentic vintage aesthetics. The piece is completed by a side mechanical lock button accented with a polished red cabochon insert.
