A wonderful mid-century smoking companion that transforms a desk accessory into a miniature scene. Two hand carved dogs joined by a small chain, a stash / storage box, a set of brass ashtrays, a match holder, and candle holder complete the composition.
Marked Souvenir of Germany, the piece captures the craftsmanship often found in postwar German tourist wares, balancing folk-art carving with practical function.
