Description:
Tortoise Shell Snuff Box. This antique snuff box is beautiful and in excellent condition for its age, (estimated to be in the early 1800's). It is from an estate that we liquidated back in the late 1980's and just have had it in the china cabinet ever since. I have been told that the top is made of tortoise shell and the bottom is horn. It has an oval inlaid silver piece in the very center of the top that has the name "Joseph Muir". The oval is then surrounded with more inlaid silver piece in the form of rings, flowers, stars and leaves. Then there are tiny inlaid flowers of abalone shell. This is an extremely fine hand crafted snuff box and I am sure quite expensive in its day. If you have any questions or would like more pictures please email me and I will be delighted to assist you.
