Description from the seller

Beautiful and rare 2-piece vintage smoking set, fully crafted from hand-carved wood with detailed geometric patterns and floral accents.
The set consists of:
1. Mechanical cigarette dispenser: Equipped with a clever bird mechanism. When the wooden lever at the back is pressed, the compartment opens and the bird tilts forward to pick up a cigarette with its beak.
2. Matching cigar box: A loose wooden box with a lid, featuring the same decorative carved edges on the top. The inside is clean and in good vintage condition.
• Period: About the 1950s / 1960s.
• Material: Wood (hand-carved).
• Condition: Good vintage condition with a beautiful patina and normal signs of age appropriate to the period. The bird mechanism works as intended. See the photos for an accurate impression of the details and the condition of the wood.
These items are carefully packaged and shipped
