It features a sapphire blue lacquered exterior and brass accents. It has six rotating side panels decorated with floral motifs. The interior of each panel is fitted with brass hardware, including rings and cups to hold cigars and cigarillos.
The underside of the cigar carousel features a wind-up music box that is in working condition and plays a charming melody. A wind-up mechanism is located at the base of the carousel, and when the pull tab is lowered, it opens and closes the six panels to the sound of music. This piece is a high-end decorative item. In addition to providing storage for cigars, this very elegant and rare cigar humidor could be repurposed for decorative purposes, in interior design projects, or to start a collection. Indeed, antique and vintage cigar boxes are often collected by enthusiasts for their craftsmanship, design, and ingenuity.
