Antique Primitive Carved Walnut 5 Pipe Holder Stand Tobacco Cabinet Humidor

June 26, 2025 – 10:51 am

This is an original antique (late 19th to very early 20th century) primitive handmade wood pipe stand featuring scalloped top and hand carved walnut shelf to rest five pipes in with tobacco drawer underneath. Walnut was used for the primary wood but I can’t say for certain if it’s all walnut. There are a few chips in the wood, some minor surface wear and staining from age, but the entire piece is sturdy, solid, and fully functional. The wood has a beautiful grain and what appears to be the original finish. The original knob is intact as well. There is a screw hole in the top for wall mounting.

Antique Humidor Carved Wood Skinny Pig Folk Art Late 1800s German for English

June 24, 2025 – 10:35 pm

For sale is a neat antique hand carved folk art humidor. Looks to be made in Germany’s Black Forest but made for the English market with the phrase “42 pounds with the sty” on the lid and “not very fat” along the bottom. The pig is very skinny with ribs showing. Mid to late 1800s. Just under 9 and half inches tall. Weighs about 6 pounds 9 ounces. Condition: Displays well but has some issues. Has a huge split in the back. Likely from its manufacture and the wood drying out but its still a big split. Smaller split in the front. Both seem stable though. Piece feels tight enough and not moving more. Has some staining in areas, especially in the base. Other areas show wear. The finish is worn off in areas. You see a fair bit of this on the lid. All the loses are pretty obvious in the photos. Good old finish / surface. No repairs or reglues. See photos to determine condition.

Antique German Black Forest Carved Wood Tobacco Humidor Renaissance Portraits

June 16, 2025 – 6:56 pm

This beautifully carved wooden tobacco humidor showcases the detailed craftsmanship typical of the Black Forest tradition, believed to originate from early 20th-century Germany. Each side of the box features intricate floral designs and profile portraits in a Renaissance style, all hand-carved in relief. The top of the box is adorned with complementary floral carvings and includes a central knob for easy removal. The lid lifts off completely and reveals an unlined wooden interior-originally intended for tobacco storage, though it also functions well as a decorative box for small keepsakes, jewelry, or collectibles. Crafted from solid wood with warm, aged patina, the piece remains in very good vintage condition. Felt remnants on the base suggest it was designed to rest on a tabletop without scratching the surface. Removable lid with carved knob. Hand-carved Renaissance-style portraits and floral motifs. Believed to be German, Black Forest-style. This humidor is both decorative and functional, perfect for collectors of tobacciana, antique woodwork, or European folk art.

Antique Early Humidor Cigar Moisitining Box Drawer Top Cedar Tray Brass Knob

June 14, 2025 – 6:52 pm

Offered here is a rare and possibly very early example of a cigar humidor or moistening box. This handsome, handcrafted piece likely dates to the mid to late 19th century, and showcases elegant, old-world craftsmanship. It measures approximately 12.5″ wide x 7.25″ deep x 4.5 tall. Constructed of what appears to be rosewood, with a warm, aged patina. Early dovetail joinery at the corners, indicating quality hand construction. The lid appears to be made from two joined pieces of wood, with a visible center seam/split where the boards meet – typical of early construction techniques. Interior features a removable cedar tray, perfect for cigars or accessories. A larger drawer below includes a flush-set brass pull tab. The thin wooden panel forming the base of the box is partially missing; this can be replaced if desired. The lid shows a center seam/split, likely from the way the wood was originally joined – not a crack, but part of the original build. Surface wear and minor scratches consistent with age. This is a beautiful and early cigar-related piece – ideal for collectors or anyone who appreciates antique woodenware and fine craftsmanship. Thank you for looking!
