A lovely dark wood cigar and cigarette box with brass hardware . This piece opens with a hinged lid and stands on it's own wood frame it has three windows on each side I believe for humidity.
 
Measures approximately 12.50” x 6.50” x 2.20” or (32 cm x 16.5 cm x 5.75 cm).
 
The box is made around the early 1900's and hand carved with ridges all around it's sides and a beautiful patinated top/lid. On the underbelly of the box are small signs of the box being moved often (:)). This item was obtained from an antique and vintage estate sale in The Netherlands.
 
With its clean lines and perfectly contrasting colors, this small Chinese early 20th century cigar box will bring an exotic touch to any décor, whether placed in a bedroom, living room or office. Can be used for any purpose. As is the nature of vintage and antique items, it is often the case that they have seen use and been well loved by families in their previous life. In buying vintage, you will find scratches, scuffs, different colored patina or other 'evidence' of the items previous use. We don't see these issues as “flaws”. We feel this adds to the charm, history and character of our items, and gives them something special that contemporary items lack. We will always do our best to describe and document items accurately, to point out any big issues with them.
