This is a beautifully decorated, re-purposed wood cigar box with a travel theme. I used a favorite paper from Graphic 45, and other embellishments. There is a vintage style metal clasp for closure and a set of vintage box feet. Because these are upcycled cigar boxes, there may be very minor imperfections, so I work hard to bring out the natural beauty of the boxes, using wax, paint and sanding wherever needed. My aim is to transform them into objects that you will be proud to give as gifts or display in your home or office. Box dimensions are: 10.5 x 7.5 x2 in. Your box will be safely and securely packed and shipped via USPS.

Vintage Embellished Cigar Box. Ideal gift for traveler~mementoes~retiree~dad’s

gift~desk accessory~man cave .I used

heavy scrap

book paper with lots of gears and clocks to reflect the steampunk theme. Box ends

were left uncovered to highlight the

workmanship on the box. 3D clocks gears were added, as well as metal feet and

closures. To care for your box I advise

not to display in a very humid or direct sunny spot The papers I use are heavy duty,

but still need a bit of tlc. Box

dimensions are 7x 7x 3.

Price includes shipping&handling, using usps priority mail.
