Arts & Crafts carved walnut smoker's cabinet which is a period replica of the Raleigh Smokers cabinet retailed by Liberty & Co. So was this version also retailed by them? Whereas the Raleigh had stencilled panels that often faded, this has beautifully carved doors. Below the cabinet are two circular holes that were made for
bowls for mixing tobacco with smaller ones for pipes.
The carved words are from "Night and Morning" a book by Edward Bulwer-Lytton 1841 and read "The man who smokes thinks like a sage and acts like a Samaritan" Whilst smoking is not so fashionable now, this is a beautiful example of fine carving and of a bygone era,
Offered in good condition with some paint residue to base. There is no key at present.
Height 62cms. Width 72cms at top and 53cms at the base. Depth 21.5cms. PLEASE NOTE, RED HOUSE ANTIQUES HAS NOW RETIRED.
