Precious cigar box set galuchat-coated teak and ebony from 1970s

About the Item

Precious cigar box set galuchat-coated teak wood with ebony profiles, 1970s manufacture. Wooden teak base with slightly raised lid in the shape of a truncated pyramid and masterfully veneered in Galuchat, purebred leather emerald green tint with a glossy finish, the center of the lid highlights the backbone of the race separated by black ebony inserts, teak wood interior, brass lock and hinges. Bon état. Measures 25x23.5x9 cm - inches 9.8x9.2x3.5. The race is a fish from the warm seas with a cartilaginous coat, was used in ancient times; the earliest uses of skate skin date back to ancient Asian civilizations that used this raw hide to decorate the handles and scabbards of swords. However, it was in Europe that, during the 1700s, Jean Claude Galuchat, an artisan active at the court of Versailles, succeeded in developing a technique to make the skin of this fish shiny and colorful: thus the Galuchat tanned skate was born. Since then it was used for furniture, the production of small precious objects, and even building decoration. Napoleon III had an entire room wallpapered with rawhide commissioned. Today it is used, mainly, for making clothing accessories. Tanneries capable of processing this leather, which occupies, by now, a privileged position in the luxury firmament are very few and in most cases located between France and Italy.
