This is a Rare Stunning Georgian Faux Pressed Tortoiseshell and Copper-Gilt Table Snuff Box, i believe this was crafted c1800 making it around 221 Years old. This Georgian Faux Tortoiseshell and Gilt Snuff Box has the most amazing Pressed Design into the Faux Tortoiseshell with nice Dark Colour to the Faux tortoiseshell, and having a Weaved Design within Diamond Shapes all over the Lid, and there are still some traces of Gold Wire Work all over the Lid and still around the edge of the Lid and in certain light you can see the Colours of the Faux Tortoiseshell and some of the Gold Wire Pique Work. The Lid and the base has the same Weave Design but in Cross Shapes. The Lid Edge and the Base Edge has Gilt Decoration including the Raised Scroll Shape Thumb Piece, and the Lid opens and closes nice and Smoothly and the Hinge is in good condition. The Sides of the Snuff Box have a lovely Copper and Gilt Patterns all around the Box. This would have once belonged to someone Wealthy back in the Georgian Period when times were very different to today, it is so Tactile and really is a Quality Snuff Box, There is wear to the Gilt on the inside of the Snuff Box and some Gold Wire Work missing from the Lid, but this doesn’t detract from the Beauty of this Antique and is only mentioned for accuracy, this would add something special to any collection and my Photos don’t do it Justice.
