Antique English Oak Smoke Pipe Cigar Cabinet Humidor

Antique English Oak Smoke Pipe Cabinet Box & Bowls

Made by St DUNSTAN Blinded Soldier, Beaded & Carved

Direct from England, a beautiful antique smoke cabinet, WITH ORGINAL TAG THAT READS:

“This article was made by a St. Dunstan’s War Blinded Soldier”.

Quick research reveals the following:

…”British newspaper magnate Sir Arthur Pearson lost his sight to glaucoma in 1913, and in 1915 founded  St. Dunstan’s Home to rehabilitate soldiers who had been blinded in the First World War. Rather than simply being a charitable organization, however, St. Dunstan’s offered vocational training to the servicemen  to enable them to regain their independence and return to the workforce”…

In addition to its provenance, the cabinet features large beaded trim and a beautiful carved center ornament. 

The lovely solid oak cabinet has a rich, dark finish and lovely aged patina.

Note the bracket feet on each side and the fitted interior that includes TWO PIPE RACKS, each holding three pipes.

There are three removable SOLID OAK bowls inside, one with a lid and all three are joined together with pegs.

Measurements:

12 ¼”H x 11 ¾” x 6 ¾”.

NOTE:  New English container just in from London, with a  large selection of HIGH QUALITY antique English smoker’s cabinets and smoke stands with a large number of carved items---including tables, carved stools, carved wall cabinets, carved corner cabinets,  smoke cabinets, granddaughter clocks, beveled mirrors….listings will be added throughout the week!!

Condition:

The cabinet is in good condition for its age, with normal signs of age and use, dings, scratches and other imperfections.  The finish is beautiful and the trim looks wonderful.  I only noted a few missing pieces on beaded trim on the very top upper left corner.  The fitted interior has some staining that occurred over the years, please see photos.   Cabinet appears to have been designed for cabinet or table top but could be modified for wall hanging if buyer so desired.   I always provide multiple photos that should be considered as part of the description and I encourage you to email me with any questions you might have prior to bidding.
