Delicate and unique, this charming little snuffbox captivates with its organic shape and iridescent reflections, sculpted by nature itself.
Crafted from a finely polished mother-of-pearl shell, it features a hinged lid delicately encircled with silver-plated metal. Its small suspension ring suggests that it could once have been worn on a belt, suspended from a chatelaine, or slipped into a precious pocket.
At the crossroads of a utilitarian object and a curious piece of jewelry, it could have held snuff, powder, or even a few secrets…

💛 Condition:
Very good overall condition. The clasp works perfectly.
Please note: wear to the mother-of-pearl near the lid, probably due to the antique use of a silver polish, which has slightly altered the surface (see photos). This does not affect the solidity or charm of the object.
✨ A piece full of poetry, ideal for lovers of antique objects, curiosities, or wunderkammers.
