Roulette Wheel Cigarette Case
Van Cleef & Arpels
Circa 1935–40

Among the most imaginative creations by Van Cleef & Arpels, this remarkable roulette wheel cigarette case transforms a luxury accessory into a captivating work of art. Crafted in 18K yellow gold and enamel, its cover is set with a fully functional roulette wheel, cleverly incorporating a miniature game of chance into the design. Activated by discreet release and stop buttons concealed within the sides, the wheel spins just as it would in a casino. One of only two known examples ever created by the famed maison, this ingenious object ranks among the rarest and most remarkable creations by Van Cleef & Arpels. Even more extraordinary, its decoration differs from the only other known example, making it entirely unique.

Founded in Paris in 1906, Van Cleef & Arpels quickly became one of the world's most celebrated jewelry houses, renowned for its innovation and craftsmanship. By the 1930s, the firm stood at the forefront of Art Deco luxury, creating sophisticated objects for an elite international clientele. In 1935, the maison established a boutique on Monaco's Place du Casino, placing it at the heart of one of Europe's most glamorous gaming destinations. This roulette case perfectly captures that world, embodying the elegance of Monte Carlo, the refinement of Art Deco society and the playful ingenuity that distinguished Van Cleef & Arpels at its finest.
