About the Item
A little poem in wood, this early 20th-century Swedish tobacco box is a quiet testament to the beauty of everyday ritual. Hand-turned from golden-hued burled birch, its surface is alive with undulating grain, like wind stirring tall grass or smoke curling from a well-loved pipe.
The lid, crowned with a smooth, rounded finial, is inlaid with three mahogany and brass pipes, a whimsical homage to its original purpose. Each inlay is lovingly set by hand, suggesting a craftsman who cared not only for function, but for story.
Its barrel form fits sweetly in the palm, offering itself now as a keeper of small treasures: dried herbs, matches, notes, or simply to be left empty. A piece imbued with the softness of time and the quiet soul of the north.
