Cigarette tin Muratti’s Ariston - 1930s-50s

This historic Muratti's Ariston tin box is a characterful relic from the golden age of cigarette culture. With its striking color scheme in red, blue, and gold, and the confident inscription “As smoked by royalty & the nobility”, it reflects the aspirations and presentation of past decades.

Manufactured by B. Muratti Sons & Co. Ltd. in Manchester and London, the tin presumably dates from the mid-20th century. Originally intended as packaging for “Gold Tipped” cigarettes, today it stands out as a decorative object with graphic presence and historical charm.

Whether on a desk, on a shelf, or as a small storage for personal items – this tin combines functionality with a touch of British tobacco history.
