Very good overall condition with slight wear due to age: small marks, micro-chips on the edges, internal wear to the lacquer, slightly uneven opening. Attractive period patina.
An Art Nouveau snuffbox circa 1900 , made of lacquered papier-mâché and decorated with finely worked gilt. The lid features a stylized central motif surrounded by flowing interlacing patterns typical of the fin-de-siècle aesthetic.
This antique snuffbox, light and refined, was intended to hold tobacco or small precious items. Its gilding and deep black lacquer make it a truly charming piece. A fine example of a Belle Époque utilitarian object, prized for its craftsmanship and elegant decorative style.
