Item Details
Description
[SNUFF BOX]. Hand-Made French Snuff Box of “The Duelists.” [France, ca. 1810]. This very rare circular wooden snuff box has a hand-made lid illustrated with an unknown and rarely encountered medium, a silvered surface with clear appliqué transfer and aquatint. Approximately 3 ¼” in diameter, ½” high. The image depicts French Hussards participating in a forbidden yet popular activity between battles: a duel! The box, with a tarnished brass edge, shows some surface wear and occasional chipping. Good. This unusual box has undeniable charm.
