Cigarette holder / vintage wooden table-top dispenser, of Asian manufacture, dating roughly to the second half of the 20th century.
The piece features a refined inlaid decoration on the lid and on the front edge, composed of geometric and floral motifs with light inserts and metallic details. The warm tone of the wood and the natural variations in the grain give the piece a pleasant vintage character.

The item is presented in vintage condition, with signs of age and use, small imperfections, color variations, and traces of wear visible in the photographs. These elements are consistent with the estimated age of the piece.
An interesting decorative and collectible object, representative of table-top smoking accessories from the 20th century.
