More than 100 years old, the case is fashioned from richly figured wood with a striking burl-like grain, displaying swirling patterns, knots, and warm variations in tone that make each surface visually distinctive.

One of its most appealing details is the cleverly constructed interlocking wooden hinge, an elegant feature that speaks to the skill of its maker while allowing the case to retain a clean, streamlined appearance without prominent metal hardware. The smoothly finished exterior has acquired a warm aged character while allowing the remarkable natural figuring of the wood to remain the focal point.

Measures approximately 4.25 inches wide, 3.25 inches deep, and 0.75 inch high. Originally made to hold cigarettes, today this compact case makes a sophisticated decorative object for a gentleman’s dresser, desk, or library. It could also be repurposed for small keepsakes, jewelry, or simply displayed as a beautiful example of antique woodwork. Good antique condition with light signs of wear and handling. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

This case is a wonderfully tactile and highly displayable piece—combining practical design, century-old craftsmanship, and the unmistakable character of beautifully figured wood. See less
