Description

This is a very small 19th century puzzle ball made from lignum vitae. It is decorated with concentric circles, one of which pushes out to reveal a small compartment. This would have been used to store powder for rouge, snuff or even small coins. Minor losses, mainly to the inside rim of the secret box, when the lid is removed, Works well.

It is one of the smallest examples I have seen. 

It only measures approx 2.8cm w.

Date of Manufacture

Opus Antiques has dated this piece to the 19th Century.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
