A stunning cigar humidor made of finely carved wood, stained to resemble mahogany, composed of three distinct elements with exceptional refinement.

At its center, an architectural structure with four openwork columns houses a Canton sphere resting on a quadrupedal stand. This sphere is visible through an oculus adorned with vine leaves, adding a touch of elegance to the piece.

The top of the structure is crowned by two eagles, imperial symbols, perched on a sphere and holding a chain with a sculpted laurel wreath. The pediment bears the inscription "Honor and Prosperity" and features the faces of the imperial family: Napoleon III, Empress Eugénie, and Napoleon IV.

On either side, two musical cigar boxes are connected to the central sphere by a chain delicately placed on the finger of a sculpted hand. Their opening mechanism is controlled by a pivoting hand mechanism.
