A lovely example of an English antique tobacco jar.
The dark oak wood has been tinted into a deep mahogany. Throughout the age it also acquired beautiful patina, which is only found in older pieces and gives it a sense of age. The walls are made from strips of wood beautifully jointed together to display matched grain.
This cigarette barrel has an original patinated tin metal insert. These jars are rare survivors without deep cracks in the walls - they make fabulous biscuit barrels or tea caddies.
