ABOUT PRODUCTID 37145
This collectible cigarette dispenser with a built-in music box, produced by Selcol in England during the 1960s, exemplifies British Mid-Century Modern design. Its striking hexagonal form is crafted from deep, glossy black plastic, contrasted by warm gold accents in the form of intricate, symmetrical patterns on each vertical panel. A centrally placed button activates the music mechanism and opens six doors, revealing the cigarette compartments. The construction features clean geometric lines and carefully executed details, with a highly polished surface that reflects light and enhances its decorative presence. The piece is preserved in very good condition, displaying only minor signs of use typical for the 1960s; all mechanical and decorative elements remain intact and functional.This object seems to tell the story of 1960s Britain, when the home bar was a symbol of social life and well-designed gadgets signaled status and modernity. The gold lines, like the notes of a jazz tune, wind around the black surface, conjuring the mood of evening gatherings and backroom conversations. The music box melody, triggered with a single touch, transports one to an era when even everyday accessories held a touch of theatrical flair and collective celebration.It can be displayed on a console alongside collectible whisky glasses or among other mid-century bar accessories. It will fit beautifully in a living room styled in mid-century modern fashion, where geometric shapes and glossy surfaces take center stage, but would be equally interesting in an eclectic study or as a vintage accent in a contemporary interior. Pairing it with dark wood, brass lamps, or a glass tray would highlight its collectible nature and bring out the refined elegance of the 1960s.
