ABOUT PRODUCTID 13159
This postmodernist humidor from the 1960s, originating in the USSR, is crafted from silver-plated brass that gives it a matte, silvery-grey surface softened by gentle patina. The construction is defined by a flat, low-profile rectangular box, supported on modest feet with sharply accentuated corners and a subtly raised lid. Surrounding the entire body are decorative reliefs featuring geometric and abstract motifs—clear references to Space Age architecture and iconography. Linear engravings and stylized space-inspired forms—suggestive of rockets, satellites, and symbols of cosmic aspirations—encircle the piece, articulating both technical finesse and postmodern playfulness with form. The metallic surface displays delicate oxidative shadows and surface marks typical for aged noble materials. The overall condition is very good for its age, with only minor signs of gentle tarnishing, small scuffs and surface wear, and no interventions to the original construction; all components remain authentic.This humidor seems to quietly narrate the story of an era when dreams of space exploration shaped both the ambitions and aesthetics of daily life. Its geometric outline and symbolic reliefs evoke the optimism and futurism of the 1960s—a period enchanted with rocket launches and modern technologies. The silvery, softly tarnished facade gently scatters the light, capturing the atmosphere once found in rooms filled with conversations about tomorrow, amidst the rituals of cigar and cigarette enjoyment.
