ANTIQUE #SA1157135

Antique Bellows Shaped Snuff Box

£235    $314    €269
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.
