Artisan Antiques has dated this piece to the 1900s.
Uniquely, this box features not only a snuff compartment but a small vesta (matches) case on the left with a separate lid and striker design. The case is made very well with a snug closure of the lid.
The interior of the main compartment is gilt, contrasting the exterior look and adding a layer of protection from the silver tarnishing with the contents inside. The case is an ideal size both for collection and on the go. In the modern-day, it could be used for more than just the intended snuff by adding pills, mints, etc.
The case is marked on both sides with the maker's mark, "84" and the crossed anchors mark signifying St Petersburg.
