About this seller
Product description
A unique, handmade cigar box from the 1950s, constructed from carefully placed matchsticks and finished with three oval gemstones on the front.
The interior features the original Hofnar Bouquet logo – a charming detail that gives the piece its character and provenance.
This type of matchstick box is a typical example of post-war folk art: artisanal, inventive, and with a focus on rhythm and form. The combination of the warm wood and the graphic pattern makes this box a small work of art in itself. Details
