Description

Extremely Rare Early Victorian 18 carat Solid Gold Combination Snuff Box / Pill Box / Trinket Box
This is an Extremely Rare Early Georgian 18ct Gold Combination Snuff Box - Pill Box crafted by a world renowned French Georgian Goldsmith. This stunning 18
carat Gold Combination Snuff Box/Match box or modern day pill box was crafted in the mid 19th century making it 150-180 years of age. The decoration
is absolutely stunning with a magnificent hunting scene with 3 dogs chasing after a stag on the top. The bottom is adorned with deep hand chased flowers
surrounding an angel which is further surrounded by scrolls and foliage in abundance to the entire bottom portion of the box. The 4 side walls are that of
ribbed lines making for a wonderful 3 piece morif. This would have been crafted for not only a very wealthy Victorian Gentleman but also someone of
importance, The piece is in superb condition for its age. The quality is stunning as you would expect from such a rare and high quality piece. The piece is in
overall stunning condition and such a fine example of rare Victorian craftsmanship. Made of solid 19 carat to 20 carat gold at its best ( fully tested ) Would
make an ideal modern day pill box or storage box for trinkets or other items. My words and photos DO NOT do it justice at all.
