Cigar and Tobacco Stand 1859 - 1872

Adolf Lindberg's "Cigar and Tobacco Stand" (1859-1872) is a stunning example of 19th-century craftsmanship. The intricate design features a central tower-like structure adorned with gold and blue accents, surrounded by three smaller containers, all resting on a circular base. The rich black and gold palette, detailed carvings, and decorative enamelwork highlight the artistry of this piece, showcasing the decorative arts during the late 19th century. This stand, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, was likely a testament to luxury and refined taste in its time.
