專家說明

In April 1894, the future Emperor Nicholas II went to Coburg in Germany for the wedding of Grand Duke Ernest of Hesse, brother of Princess Alix of Hesse. Shortly after arriving in Coburg, Nicholas proposed to Alix and the two became officially engaged on 20 April 1894. This presentation cigarette case, dated 27 April 1894, was most likely a diplomatic gift from the Tsesarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich during his stay in Coburg.

A comparable Imperial presentation cigarette case by F. Koechli was sold Christie's, London, 28 May 2012, lot 221.
