French Antique Cheroot Holder/Cigarette Holder, Gold-Plated Decoration, Cased, H.G.

This antique cheroot holder from Paris showcases exquisite craftsmanship, with a beautiful and harmonious contrast between meerschaum and amber. A cheroot is a small cigar with both ends cut off, and holders like this were classical ornaments used to protect hands and clothing from odor while allowing one to elegantly enjoy the smoke. This piece was crafted by the renowned Parisian workshop "H・G." The meerschaum develops a rich, amber hue with age, and the smooth texture of the natural amber used for the mouthpiece creates a blissful sense of relaxation. 【Condition】 Exterior: ★★★☆☆ Slightly scratched and stained Functionality: ★★★★☆ Minor deterioration, but mostly problem-free ・There is age-related wear and dirt, but it has been well-maintained. ・It appears there was once an emblem on the main body, but it is now missing. ・There are no blockages. ・The case shows age-related deterioration but functions well. 　※Please note there may be minor scratches and dirt not mentioned. 　※Please check the photos before purchasing. 【Details】 ・Manufacturer: H・G ・Year of manufacture: Unknown (Antique) ・Material: Mouthpiece: Meerschaum, Amber 　　　　Decoration: Gold-filled ・Overall length: 67mm　Hole inner diameter: 8mm ・Weight: 4.7g (holder only) ※This is the only item in stock. ※Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
