Snuffbox In Hardstone And Pompon, 19th Century. Grand Tour?
Charming stone and pompon box dating from the 19th century.
The box is rectangular with rounded corners. It is made of hard stone, composed of small minerals in various shades of gray. Perhaps gray porphyry? Each section is monolithic.
The hinge is made of gilded metal of the pompon type.
An old collector's label depicting a K under a baron's wreath is affixed to the inside of the lid.
This is a very beautiful box, characteristic of the hard stone objects brought back by young men on the Grand Tour.
7.5 x 4.4 cm
2.7 cm high
110 grams
The box is superb but has a chip that has been repaired on the left side of the lid. The color of the stone makes the crack relatively discreet when there is no direct light. This is an opportunity to acquire a superb piece at a reasonable price.
Collection in person in Paris or shipping via insured Colissimo.
