This lovely rare box, probably used to
store snuff or tobacco because the inside has been gilded, has a
full set of
Some very small dings on the cylindrical base, but
nothing that distracts from the beauty of this box which stands on 4 feet
(always a sign of quality as 3 would do just as well). The pattern is
Georgian and the fantastic shell inset lid, which is inlaid with a silver
bluebells and ribbon inlay, is so reminiscent of boxes made in the George II
& III era.
THIS IS A FINE BOX AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
FOR A SERIOUS COLLECTOR
