“Snake” Cigar Box – Elie Bleu
A refined tribute to the Year of the Snake, This luxury cigar box combines the power of the symbol of snake to the excellence of the artistic cabinet making. Every element, from the detailed marquetry to the precious inlays, testifies to the exceptional know-how by Elie Bleu.
The majestic snake, inprecious metals and mother-of-pearl, seems to come to life thanks to ameticulous marquetry work. He intertwines fluidly to form a 8, a lucky number and symbol of infinity in Asian culture. His gaze, enhanced by Agate stone eyes set in gold metal, captures the light and strengthens the mystical aura of this exceptional piece.
The noble essences of green-tinted Red Gum and Bubinga, selected for their depth and finesse, recall the precious materials used in the House's emblematic creations. Each serpentine pattern, precisely engraved on the sides of the cigar box, evokes the power and grace of the reptile.
There snakewood key, finely cut and inspired by the bamboo canes, illustrates a goldsmith's work in cabinetmaking. It completes this work, by bringing a touch of authenticity and refinement.
