Here is a cigar humidor of the tahan house in paris, sign of exceptional quality, it is a great house. "prince of small cabinetmaking", tahan marked his time by the care given to each of his pieces, both objects of art and utility. It was in belgium in spa, a small water town in the ardennes, that pierre lambert tahan, a tablet-maker by profession, began this trade with a formidable destiny. He left spa for paris in 1804, and set up his factory of "boxes and necessary" in the temple district. This humidor opens, it is compartmentalized. There is marquetry on all sides, blackened wooden rods, we are really in the tradition of napoleon III. We have attached a small donatus solingen cigar cutter.
