Width: 9.5cm

An exceptionally rare and intriguing late 19th to early 20th century gentleman’s cheroot holder, mounted in silver and crafted from genuine amber and crab claw.

This striking piece features a smooth amber stem leading to a naturalistic crab claw mouthpiece, offering both function and curiosity appeal.

The holder is mounted with a silver collar bearing crisp hallmarks and is housed in its original fitted case, lined in sumptuous red velvet and finished with a black leather exterior.

These holders were popular as novelty or exotic smoking accessories during the Victorian and Edwardian eras and remain highly collectable today for their unusual materials and craftsmanship.
