Mid-Century Bakelite and brass tripod cigarette dispenser

Here is a beautiful singular object that hides its game, or rather, its function! We love his gatsby side. Its tubular shape with its extra flat lid, tapered tripod feet and this superb mix of materials alternating bakelite and brass with a touch of silver metal, make it a perfect object in terms of mid-century design. But it doesn't just look aesthetic... When you pull on your little brass cabochon, it becomes a very clever and original cigarette box. The brass interior then lets unfold 21 cases ready to accommodate them. It can be closed with the cigarettes inside. Astonishing! It may be a solution to monitor and reduce its consumption... It is in very good condition with only one small lack of bakelite little visible on the lid (see photo). Height: 18 cm. Diameter: 8 cm. Diameter cover: 10 cm.
