Welcome to our collection of luxury cigar boxes, chests and cases, where each selected piece celebrates fine craftsmanship and rich materials. Our catalogue covers an impressive variety of periods and styles, from antique creations to innovative contemporary designs, highlighting the functionality and refined aesthetics of these precious objects.

History and significance

Luxury boxes and caskets have long been symbols of status and refined taste. Historically, these objects were used to store precious goods, important documents, jewellery, tobacco and cigars. The tradition of making luxury boxes and caskets dates back to antiquity, when materials such as ivory, gold and precious stones were commonly used in their construction.

Significant eras

  • Antiquity and the Middle Ages: The first boxes were often ritual objects or symbols of power. In ancient Egypt, they could contain amulets and ritual objects. In the Middle Ages, wooden boxes, often inlaid with ivory or precious metals, were used by the nobility to keep seals or relics.

  • The Renaissance: This period saw an increase in the use of boxes to store letters, documents and personal objects. Marquetry techniques were refined, and designs became more complex and decorative.

  • The Baroque and Rococo periods: Boxes and chests from these periods were extremely ornate, with the use of gold, silver and sophisticated techniques such as mother-of-pearl and lacquer inlay.

  • The 19th Century and the Victorian Era: Industrialisation enabled the production of more affordable boxes while maintaining high levels of decoration. Jewellery boxes and sewing kits are popular examples.

  • 20th Century to Present: The modern era has seen a diversification in the use of materials, including plastics and modern alloys, but luxury editions have remained faithful to traditional materials and quality craftsmanship.

Luxury Cigar Boxes

Cigar boxes, in particular, are an area where functionality meets luxury. Traditionally made from cedar wood to preserve the humidity and aroma of the cigars, these boxes are often embellished with leather, gold or mother-of-pearl inlays. They not only serve to store cigars but also act as elegant decorative elements and signs of sophistication.
