The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A table snuff mull is a large vessel, historically crafted from natural animal horn or wood, designed to rest on a communal table or desk for sharing pulverised tobacco amongst guests.

Nineteenth-century Scottish snuff mulls were typically constructed using polished natural horn, fitted with sterling silver mounts, hinges, and set with regional gemstones such as agate or carnelian.

Authentic pieces usually feature official British silver hallmarks stamped on the mount or lid rim, which confirm metal purity, makers marks, and the specific date letter from the late nineteenth century.

Display the item on a dark wood library desk, mantelpiece, or console table alongside brass accessories to introduce texture and historical character to a room scheme.

Dust the natural horn with a clean, dry microfibre cloth, avoid exposure to moisture or heat sources, and gently polish the silver mounts using a specialised silver polishing cloth.
