About the Item
Incredible workmanship and amazingly intricate, antique Napoleon II box, mid 1800s
When it comes to collectible and high value boxes, this little, fit-for-a-king gem from the 1850s is right up there with the rarest and most beautiful we ever saw. We know it should not be THE reason why you would purchase something of this quality and beauty, but with ever fewer craftsman being able to create anything remotely great, the value of this type of antique can only go up. This amazing box stands on brass ball feet and the entire body is covered with the most beautiful burl. The exceptional color burl was chosen so that the stunning brass decorations and the inlaid pearly white gem stones would stand out even more. Those handmade, hand-sawn, hand-engraved and meticulously inlaid details and materials are of a quality and beauty that is unsurpassed. Just try to imagine how many hours it would have took to hand-create a piece (or rather a set) like this. One of the inlaid brass decorations on the right side of this box is missing, but this box is so intricate that we only noticed it ourselves when we were shooting the photos. For the interior of this striking antique yet another amazing color was chosen so that the inside too would be perfect for presenting the hand-crafted and hand-gilt perfume bottles. Only the most talented and skilled artisans were capable of creating these remarkable works of beauty and only the wealthiest of individuals would be able to own and enjoy the beauty of such a box. Mind you, the perfume that these exquisite bottles would contain too would be very dear. The overal condition of this one of a kind antique is very good and it will look amazing, no matter where you decide to have her on display. This also makes a truly impressive gift for a friend or loved one.
This rich and intricate antique is great value for money. Also, because our price includes perfect packing and even worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.
Maximum width x height x depth (when closed): 4.92 x 4.33 x 3.55 inches.

- Antique Large & Rare, Late 1800s Hand Crafted Wooden Carriage Novelty Cigar BoxLocated in Lisse, NLLarge, masterly hand-crafted and amazing condition wooden antique coach cigar holder. If you are a collector of truly unique antiques in general and of cigar or carriage related pieces in particular then this one of a kind centerpiece could be flying your way soon. Over the years we have sold a few antique novelty cigar holders, but never one of this size and never in the form of a carriage. Back in the day when this type of carriages were the means of transportation for only the wealthiest of western societies, smoking cigars certainly was a manly thing to do and very much 'en vogue'. Smoking cigars also proved that you had made it in this world. For all those reasons, this hand-crafted carriage cigar holder has always been and always will be a statement piece. We, as antique enthousiast, first and foremost fell in love with the workmanship and with the honest and timeless way in which this carriage was hand-crafted. We also love how perfectly balanced and realistic it is and for us to have been given the opportunity to buy yet another unique antique and in such amazing condition again felt like a blessing. The former owner, in our view, had gone a little overboard in trying to be the best custodian, because he kept this unique antique in an aquarium-like glass dome. He certainly succeeded, because this carriage cigar holder is in THE best possible condition. The quality in the details and the overal balance of this coach mixed with the warm patina of the antique wood is what makes this aesthetically pleasing antique a real gem to own and to look at. We believe this work of antique craftsmanship is of museum quality and condition and no matter where you decide to have it on display, this work of art will never fail to impress. In all honesty who would not be impressed (and amused) when being offered a cigar that is in the door of a large, handcrafted, 19th century model carriage...Category
