This late 19th century smokers compendium has a profusion of decorative elements in the oriental style. The base of the stand is in the form on a leaf through which three (simulated wood) uprights are angled and joined at the top. Attached to the uprights are various sized basket or trug forms which are meant to hold the various matches, cigarettes, cheroots, etc that a smoker may have used.
