Presented is a stunning ornate humidor box. This piece is likely Continental European and was made in the late 1800s up until about 1910. The box has a great wooden interior with a wooden divider in the center of the box. This divider means this piece was probably used for cigarettes. The exterior of the box is likely brass or bronze. The metal displays different agricultural scenes on the lid and all four sides. The scenes show many people working with wheat, grapes, at water's edge, and other vines and each have a beaded boarder. There are vines also boarding the scene on the lid. The box is a heavy weight and would make an excellent statement piece in any room.
On the back side of the box, there is an “ES” marked in each of the two watering cans. This may be a maker's mark. The underside is marked with the letter R.
This piece is in good condition. The box has a slight wobble and there is some discoloration in the metal. The wooden interior is firm and clean. This piece is ready for use. There are no breaks or repairs.
