Sometimes the chic of an object lies not it its perfect preservation but rather in its marks of a well-used life. In its youth, this white-horn snuff box, formed to resemble a missal, was probably alive with brilliant enamels applied to the geometric designs engraved on its top and sides. Now it is smooth and worn like a piece of driftwood, the horn taking on the look of fossilized ivory. Approximately 3-3/4 inches by 2-1/2 inches by 7/8 of an inch deep, it is French and dated 1863 in Roman numerals on the front. (For a finely preserved example, see Trocadero item 418483.) « Less

Created at the height of the Terror, this handsome and sturdy saddle-shaped snuff box bears the .950 purity mark and Paris hallmark for 1793, the year of the beheading of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. Suggesting the striped silks favored by Revolutionary sympathizers, the interior is gilded, as originally were the broader stripes of the exterior. Incorporating fine integral hinges, it is in lovely condition and measures about 3-1/4 inches by 1-3/4 inches by one inch high. (I have a similar, smaller English box that I use for carrying pills.) « Less

A particularly fine example of stippled painting is displayed under glass on the top of this simple boxwood snuff box: an Alpine beauty is portrayed in her native costume, a striped blue apron over her red dress, a brown cape, her hair bound up in a black bandeau with a toss of red ribbons on top. The details are almost microscopic! Measuring 1-5/8 inches in diameter and one inch high, the piece is in superb condition and was probably made in Switzerland or the Tyrol in the second quarter of the Nineteenth Century. « Less
