Dating to well over a century ago, the case showcases the warmth and natural variation of the wood, with a smooth surface and rich honey-toned patina developed through generations of use.

Measures externally 4 inches deep, 2.5 inches wide and 0.50 inch high. Particularly appealing is the cleverly constructed integral wooden hinge, an increasingly uncommon detail that speaks to the craftsmanship involved in producing such a small utilitarian object. The interior as features forms to support individual cigarettes. Its understated design gives the case a distinctly gentlemanly quality—an elegant personal accessory intended for everyday use at a time when even practical objects were thoughtfully made. Good antique condition with light signs of wear and handling. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

Today, it makes a fascinating piece of antique tobacciana, equally attractive displayed on a desk, dresser, bar, or amongst a collection of gentleman's accessories. Its warm wood tones also lend themselves beautifully to an English country, traditional library, or old-world study interior.

A handsome little antique with wonderful age, craftsmanship, and decorative appeal. See less
