A good example of a papier mache snuff box dating from the early 19th Century. It has a black lacquered finish with a whimsical hand painted portrait of a regency gentleman in period attire on the lid.
It is in good original condition with a lovely patina. There are some signs of age and use, some minor knocks and marks to the exterior and some crackling and crazing to the finish but overall it displays well. It has been cleaned and gently polished and is ready for use.
