Magnificent tobacco box or cigar humidor made in wood covered with root wood veneer, with a marquetery ship on the top lid and a metallic Hermès logo inside.
The piece stands out for its exquisite root wood veneer, featuring a complex and organic grain. On the top lid, a central medallion houses the delicate marquetry figure of a ship crafted with woods of different tones. The interior is spacious, where a small metallic Hermès logo is fixed in the lower left corner of the lid, an indisputable mark of the brand’s distinction, placed there because this piece belonged to a shareholder of the French house.
The piece retains its original humidification system, consisting of a perforated bronze support containing a block of pumice stone. This method allowed maintaining a constant, natural humidity level for tobacco preservation.
The side handles, corner appliqués, and double lock with original key are made of bronze.
