About the Item

Antique French 18kt Gold Engine-Turned Snuff Box — Circa 1893–1919 A finely crafted French 18kt gold snuff box, featuring elegant engine-turned guilloché decoration framed by chased foliate borders and a central blank cartouche. This intricate design reflects the craftsmanship of late 19th to early 20th-century French goldsmiths. The box bears the French rooster head hallmark, confirming its origin and 18kt gold purity. This mark was used in Paris between 1893 and 1919 on small gold items. Accompanied by an S⋅D maker’s mark (identity unconfirmed) and a head profile punch, likely a French assay office control mark. A collectible piece of antique French goldwork — both decorative and investment-worthy.
