Artisan Antiques has dated this Georgian Silver Snuff Box to the Georgian era.
The box has a pleasant feel in hand with slightly 'bulkier' proportions than a usual pocket snuff box and the rounded/oblong edges make for a stylish overall aesthetic.
The sole area of ornate embellishment can be found on the long thumbpiece that runs along the entirety of the top lid and features a floral chased design which wonderfully contrasts the surrounding simplicity and adds a slight fringe of flair.
The interior of the box is fully gilt (gold on top of solid silver) which presents a nice contrast to the silver exterior whilst also adding a layer of protection from the silver oxidising with the contents held within.
A full set of English hallmarks are present on the interior base with matching marks on the lid.
