The enamelled miniature painting on the reverse of the case is an unusual feature. For another closely comparable late 19th century cigarette case of similar form, gem-setting and enamel decoration, which was formerly in the Al-Thani Collection and sold recently at auction, see Christie's, New York, 19 June 2019, lot 100.
