About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
It's one of those objects that immediately speaks of a certain way of life. In the 1950s and 1960s, the tobacco jar was still a familiar companion in the study, living room, or library, placed near an armchair to keep tobacco within easy reach. This particular one has a remarkably warm presence. Its turned wood, deeply patinated in dark brown tones, is enlivened by three bands of small, regularly spaced metal studs. Brass cabochons and conical elements punctuate the decoration and subtly catch the light. The lid features the same decorative work, right down to its handle knob topped with an attractive metal rosette. The concentric marks from the turning are still visible, lending the piece the handcrafted character so sought after in objects from this period. One can imagine it in the library of a chateau or a grand family home, nestled among antique bindings, placed on a mahogany desk, a card table, or next to a leather armchair. An almost cinematic setting. A few books, a dim lamp, dark wood, and the subdued gleam of brass. It can, of course, revert to its original function for an enthusiast, but it just as readily serves as a storage box or decorative item, immediately adding that touch of a cabinet of curiosities and an old house that cannot be artificially manufactured. Height approximately 18 cm. Diameter approximately 11 cm. 1950s-1960s.
