William IV Period Humidor of Andaman Marblewood

William IV period humidor of Andaman marblewood. The well-figured case with brass inset handles and a Bramah spring lock, opens to reveal four fitted drawers with the same inset brass handles. The drawers cedar lined and divided for cigar storage. The drawers are nearly pristine, with little evidence the box was ever in use.

Circa 1830
