Outtakes from my book #swansongsrjdm about French #steez, available via the link in my bio: a pre-1929 Dunhill Paris ebonite cigarette holder case (with silver cigarette holder inside) hand-painted and signed in maki-e style with cranes by the Namiki artisans. It’s on top of a contemporary ad showing the same case; if you blow up the image it says “Dunhill Paris Fabriqué au Japon” because it actually pre-dates the Dunhill-Namiki brand - the Dunhill Paris manager travelled to Japan a year later to secure an exclusivity to use the Dunhill-Namiki name, which lasted until World War II. #artdeco #parisdeco #artdecoparis #dunhill #dunhillparis #15rdlp #boutiqueheritagedunhill #makie #namiki #dunhillnamiki #beautiful #elegant #menswear #steez https://www.instagram.com/p/CXCD-CnLnE1/?utm_medium=tumblr
