This nineteenth-century Dutch tobacco box takes a heavy grade oval form in polished warm brass with a hinged lid. The lid displays central hand-engraved script lettering, a date of 1849, numbers, and an engraved monogram within concentric oval lines, alongside subtle surface dents and slight wear. Measuring 2 cm high, 13 cm wide, and 5 cm deep, it sits neatly as a decorative container on an office desk in a gentleman's library setting. The hinged lid opens to reveal an interior compartment for small personal items or collectibles. The box provides a tactile antique accent for everyday display on a study tabletop or mantelpiece. The polished finish catches ambient light while the hand-engraved details add historical character.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century Dutch tobacco boxes were pocket-sized metal containers designed to store and preserve personal quantities of tobacco or snuff during travel.

These containers were typically forged from sheet brass or copper, featuring hand-soldered seams, fitted hinges, and hand-engraved surface decorative work.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-engraved dates or monograms, uneven wear along contact surfaces, and hand-assembled hinge pins rather than uniform modern machine fittings.

Position the box flat on a desk top, tray, or bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes and historic brassware to provide visual texture.

Dust periodically using a soft microfibre cloth and avoid abrasive polishes or harsh chemicals that strip away natural aged patination.
