About the Item

-In light of new tariffs, we’ve applied a 20% discount off the market price of this piece to support our collectors in facing potential added costs. At the gallery, we work closely with our artists to take this positive and proactive step, helping collectors across the pond continue building their collections with confidence. This antique Japanese Tobacco Box, complete with drawers, a kiseru, is a captivating piece of history. The warm hew of the elm is telling a story of time. The box showcases authentic metal fittings that narrate the rich journey of being well-loved and repurposed over time. The intricate wood grain, aged over a century, imparts a genuine warmth to this collectible, making it a truly heartening and valuable addition. Included in this antique set is an antique kiseru ((煙管)), housed in a box crafted from high quality zelkova wood. The box is with the original body, fixings and drawers. The top lid is made from one plank, and it’s a later edition. This box is in our possession since 2014 acquired directly from Japan; this beloved piece has been preserved by our restoration team in London, undergoing waxing and wood preservation. Despite being a century old, it remains in excellent condition, a testament to the care and attention bestowed upon it.
