Written by Sellingantiques from the dealer’s photographs and listing
  • Period19th century

This nineteenth-century treen table snuff box takes the form of a straw boater hat in turned oak. The timber displays rich dark brown and amber tones with visible grain variation, dark patina patches across the crown and brim, and natural surface wear. Carved decoration includes a rope-twist hatband with trailing cords and tasselled ends, while the circular body features horizontal turned reeding along the lower stacked sections. Measuring 12.5 cm wide by 3.5 cm high, the box contains a divided interior with partial lining remaining. Practical for placement on a hall console, living room side table, or study desk, the lidded container serves as a compact storage vessel for small everyday items such as cufflinks, keys, or loose change. The whimsical hat silhouette and textured wooden construction make it a conversational decorative accent in traditional or eclectic interiors.
