Antique Bellows Shaped Snuff Box

19th century
Description

A good  19th century mahogany  snuff box in the form of some bellows. It has  a sliding lid with a stop and is decorated with brass pins and an unusual motto to the front ''From A Friend'', with the initials BH or RH at the top and MW at the bottom.

Unusually it has a brass end rather than wood, which would have been expensive to make - to replicate a bellows.

Possibly the bellows shaped  snuff boxes gave the allusion of blowing  away the snuff dust!

It measures 12.6cm l x 6cm w at the widest point.

For postage costs outside of the UK please contact us.
