Antique rectangular punched silver snuff box, antique French solid silver snuff box from the time of Napoleon III, we date it to approximately 1880. This exquisite piece presents the scene of landscape customs finely engraved on the lid and highly decorated with floral motifs, reflecting the craftsmanship of the time. It is an ideal gift for tobacco collectors, combining history and elegance in a unique collector's item.

In this box we sense, although a little blurry, the punch of the Head of Mercury, the Tête de Mercure was used in some French articles manufactured for export during the period 1840-1879.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.

If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
