Cigarette box - Mahogany - Cigarette box

Very beautiful Victorian mahogany two-opening box for a cigarette display case.

A small symbol of social status:
The dual design reveals a very practical intention typical of the 19th century, when smoking was a social ritual and cigarette cases became items of constant use. When opened, the interior structure reveals a meticulously organized, almost engineering-like arrangement that allows cigarettes to be stored neatly and protected. The elastic bands are a detail that combines utility and discretion — they hold the contents without taking away from the overall beauty.
The exterior maintains this Victorian aesthetic that blends sobriety with a taste for well-executed details. The straight lines, slightly rounded edges, and balanced proportions testify to a craftsman who knew his trade and sought an elegant result without ostentation. Mahogany was highly prized at the time for its durability and reddish tone.
