Two Vintage 1960s French Cedar Wood Embossed Crocodile Leather Cigar Boxes
About the Item
Two very decorative heavy 1960s vintage wood and leather cigar boxes. The boxes are 'coated' outside with leather and pieces of crocodile on top and cork on the bottom (to avoid scratches on your desk or table).
The inside is lined with cedar wood.
Inside measurements 14x9cm (5.51"x3.54")
Very pretty lidded hinged boxes, which originally would have held cigarettes or cigars but also could be used to keep jewellery or little treasures in.
Cigarette sales peaked in the 20th century, people were allowed to smoke in the office, the cinema, at restaurants, indoors and outdoors. Once women were able to smoke freely, smoking became a social norm and in general it was considered an act of elegance and sophistication. Businessmen in the 1960s were rarely seen without a cigarette in their hand.
So needles to say you needed pretty smoking accessories on your desk or coffee table.
