This Biedermeier tobacco jar is made of mahogany and dates from 1880 to 1920.
Description from the seller
Beautiful Biedermeier tobacco jar, turned from mahogany. It is therefore a luxury jar, as mahogany has always been an expensive wood. The jar is approximately 20 cm high and has a diameter of about 14 cm. It weighs approximately 720 g. The turned details and beautiful wood grain give the jar a distinctive look, especially when it has been polished with mahogany wax polish (see photos).
The tobacco jar probably dates from the late 19th century or the early years of the 20th century.
Although the jar is probably more than 100 years old and has therefore been used as a tobacco jar for a long time, it is still in remarkably good condition! There are hardly any visible signs of use. It is highly decorative—not just for collectors!
Of course, the jar can still be used for tobacco, but you can also store all kinds of small items in it.
The tobacco jar will be professionally packed and shipped insured.
