The roof, adorned with metallic finishes, lifts to reveal the interior compartment. On the front, a finely sculpted metal dog emerges from a small opening, lending the piece a charming and realistic character. Additional metal figurines, such as a small squirrel on one side and a pair of birds near a dish, enhance the narrative and add to the box's decorative appeal. The base is gracefully shaped, complementing the chalet design and giving the object a robust yet elegant presence. This is a richly crafted and detailed humidor that combines artisanal skill with playful artistry. When its roof is lifted, it reveals a removable interior compartment for storing 16 cigars. In addition to being a storage box for cigars, this very elegant and rare humidor could be repurposed for decorative purposes, used in fine art displays, or to start a collection. Indeed, antique cigar boxes are often collected by enthusiasts for their craftsmanship, design, and the nostalgia they evoke. Please note that there is no key and therefore it does not lock. See less
