Globe Planet brass cigarette dispenser

It is a rare and precious object, whose originality lies in the secret compartment it hides within it. At first glance, this small globe, made of solid brass in the 1950s, is a magnificent decorative object that proudly stood on the desks of the greats of this world. What a surprise to discover that the northern hemisphere rises and reveals a cigarette dispenser! At a time when smoking rhymed with shining in society, owning such an object to offer a cigarette to its customers was then the height of luxury and elegance. This world map is offered in its juice. The brass, whose patina is unlike any other, gives it a lot of cachet. The golden continents stand out elegantly from the champagne-coloured oceans. Traces of friction, wear and puncture are present everywhere to remind us of the history of this massive metal object, heavy and solid. The opening and closing system forces a little if it is fully deployed. This globe is a self-sufficient decorative element, but it can hold up to 25 cigarettes for amateurs.
