AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage chess box with humidifier and hygrometer for cigars, made of solid wood of English origin, wooden pieces with green velvet underbase, the condition is very well preserved — one could say very good despite its years. It has on the right side of the drawers two small blemishes at the bottom to be observed in photos; otherwise it is very well equipped with its key. The clocks come apart and assemble easily. A wide photographic detail is attached for assessment to consider its state and details. It is heavy and bulky in its box and will be packed securely and shipped with specialized packaging to destination. Shipments outside the European Community or outside Europe and its dependencies are not covered in the Catawiki shipping price and incur an additional shipping surcharge.
