This extraordinary vintage carriage-shaped cigarette case represents a fascinating example of finely perforated and carved wooden craftsmanship. The piece evokes a taste for highly original tabletop accessories, typical of mid-twentieth-century vintage production.
The wooden structure is enriched by elaborate tracery with plant motifs on the sides and top. The interior of the carriage opens to reveal rotating rack compartments designed to house cigarettes, as well as small compartments and opening doors. The meticulous workmanship of the wheels and the guide box accentuates its collectible value.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enrich a collection of rare items or to add a touch of old-world elegance to a living room, study, or desk.
