A Fabulous Equestrian Themed Silver Plated Tobacco/cigar Box

A fabulous, silver plated tobacco or cigar box, with an equestrian theme. This impressive example is lockable (no key) and is of octagonal form. The lid and base rims have reeded decoration and have a line of beading. The hinged lid opens to reveal a roomy interior. The top is mounted with a superb cast figure of a running horse and the sides each have cast horse head handles. Possibly a Military piece, the lock reflects the fact that both cigars and tobacco were both costly and prized. A large and desirable example. Dimensions below.
