Beautiful coloured and structured walnut cedar lined two layer Cigar Humidor. Three-tongue structure lock confirms the exceptional quality. (Key is missing) Elegant applied carvings on all four sides. Carvings on the lid show some signs of use and age.

Overall in a very good condition with some small repairs.

The depiction on the lid is a so-called trophy of arms. (Confirmed by the College of Arms London) the ancient Greek used this after each battle to display all the arms collected from opponents after battle.

This comes from a private collection!
