Description from the seller
This colonial English bamboo box for cigars from the early 20th century is a handcrafted object of great historical and decorative interest.
Made of dark bamboo, carefully worked and polished, it features a rounded triangular shape with vertical bindings that reinforce its structure and give it a rustic yet elegant appearance. The slightly domed lid fits precisely, demonstrating its practical function of keeping cigars in good condition.
His style reflects the British taste for incorporating local materials in Asian colonies, blending traditional functionality with Victorian and Edwardian sobriety. These types of pieces were used in clubs and colonial residences, where smoking cigars was a symbol of status and refinement.
Today, its English colonial origin and handcrafted manufacture make it an attractive piece for collectors of antique tobacco items, colonial objects, and Anglo-Indian decor, with added value if it bears workshop marks or signs of original use.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
