Cigar Sanctum - In Puros Amicitia

Delightful bronze satyr bust cigar lighter. The piece would originally have sat on a bar or counter. The cigar that the creature smokes serves as a wick holder, from which customers would light their own cigars; the hinged portion at the top of the head opens to the reservoir for the liquid. French, circa 1880. Dimensions: height 220 x width 130 mm. Condition: excellent.
