FAQs

A Georgian shoe-form snuff box is a small novelty container shaped like a shoe or boot, created during the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century to hold powdered tobacco.

Pique work involved driving small pins or strips of gold, silver, or brass into carved hardwoods, tortoiseshell, or horn to form detailed geometric or floral patterns.

Authentic Georgian examples typically feature hand-carved details, smooth hand-cut sliding lids, and natural age patina alongside flush metallic pin inlay.

Small antique snuff boxes are ideally displayed on a study desk, arranged within a curates display shelf, or placed atop a stack of hardback books on a coffee table.

Keep the object in a stable climate away from direct heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage, and clean gently with a dry soft brush rather than liquid polishes.
