Antique C1800 Solid Silver Mounted Mother Of Pearl Engraved Snuff Box 6.6cm A/F
This is a lovey solid silver mounted, steel lined and mother of pearl set snuff box. The mother of pearl finely engraved with scenes of the early regency era probably Circa 1780 - 1800. The top has two opening sections to the hinge centre. The inside / lining throughout appears to be steel or something similar. Unfortunately, there is some loss to the edges of the silver and cracking & small chips to the pearl but with a piece of this age you would expect some wear.
Unmarked but tested as as solid silver.
Mother of pearl has several large cracks / splits wear etc. Some loss to edges of silver also scratches knocks etc.
Width: 6.6cm approx
Depth: 2.1cm approx
Height: 1cm approx (highest point)
Weight: 57.8g
Condition: see photos (mother of pearl has several large cracks / splits wear etc. Some loss to edges of silver also scratches knocks etc).
