    Inlaid decorative Cigar box...doesn't look too old. But attractive.

    Welcome, JJ. I'm with Aaron, it looks like Sorrento ware. How big is it?

    Sorrento ware is inlaid wood, often with Renaissance-inspired designs, made in and around Sorrento in Italy. The woodworkers of Sorrento were known for the manufacture of elegant souvenirs, also for other regions and countries.

    I'l third Sorrento Ware with one caveat: some of it is now transfer, not inlay.
