Antique German Black Forest Carved Wood Tobacco Humidor Renaissance Portraits
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.
