On offer is an interesting wooden Marcella cigars box dating to the Festival of Britain in 1951. The lid is set with a brass Festival of Britain medallion and the top edge is stamped with the Marcella cigar company name, linking the piece directly to this important post war British cultural event.

The Festival of Britain was held in London and other locations in 1951 to promote British design industry and national recovery. Commemorative items such as this cigar box were produced for everyday use yet now offer strong historical interest. Marcella was a well known cigar brand, and branded presentation boxes like this were intended to be reused, adding to their survival today.

The box would serve well as a trinket or ring box. Condition shows minor surface wear with some lettering rubbed, and the lid does not close fully, showing a slight smile as photographed. A characterful piece of mid twentieth century British memorabilia with clear festival association.
