Antique wooden box from 1897, used as a drying/preservation box for tobacco leaves. Modernist, still has some of the yellow paint on the sieves. Brought from Havana by an officer who participated in the war in Cuba, which ended in 1898.
Dimensions: 42 cm high and 35 cm long.
The wood has woodworm holes, but they were not covered so as not to reduce the value, but only disinfected and treated. One of the sieves shows signs of rust and the round sieve is missing part of the grid that has been discarded due to the oxidation of the metal.
