Delightful & RARE antique French Napoleon III or Victorian to early Edwardian era 8 3/8" tall cigar presenter box or smoker's casket in the form of an OUTHOUSE, privy or latrine with front stairs & railing, carved door handle & latch, brass tack accenting and wonderful visual & decorative appeal! Not actually a humidor per se, there is no soaker or humidifier in this one. Isn't this just to die for :). Just in from France and you really can't look at it without smiling. Open the door and inside is the actual seat, a hole that is likely to hold match sticks with a striker on the floor in front and fittings on the door itself to hold cigars. The lid also raises up to a small compartment for other accoutrement. A rare and delightfully mischievous little piece, don't miss it!
Very good condition. I haven't tested to see if the striker works on a match but that would be the only real flaw if not. As you can see, this little treasure has been well cared for, likely displayed in a cabinet or vitrine for years and years. See pictures for all measurements.
