Vintage pocket cigarette case produced in the USSR in 1964 by the historic Lenemalier Artel (Leningrad Enameler, founded in 1929), featuring a stunning high-relief artistic depiction celebrating rhythmic gymnastics.
The front of the silver-tone case showcases a dynamic and graceful female gymnast performing an athletic split leap while balancing a large rhythmic hoop. The muscular definition, dynamic pose, and flowing hair of the gymnast are rendered with exceptional clarity against a finely detailed, textured stipple-pattern background that provides a beautiful matte contrast. This rare sports-themed collectible carries an authentic aged patina and represents the mid-century Soviet era's strong cultural focus on athletic elegance and Olympic sports.
This vintage cigarette case has been restored: the metal has been cleaned and polished, minor touch-ups have been applied where the original finish was lost, and, if needed, the internal elastic bands have been replaced. The original aesthetics have been preserved, making it a great addition to any collection. Inside, the case carries the authentic historical factory hallmark: "ЛЭ". The side locking mechanism is completed with a mechanical push-button closure.
