George II Silver Mounted Mother of Pearl Snuff Box, circa 1730
About the Item
A Rare Early George II Silver Mounted Mother of Pearl Snuff Box. Made Most Probably in London circa 1730
The Snuff Box is modelled in an oval form with silver sides and hinge decorated with reeding. The base is inset with a plain mother of pearl panel, however the mother of pearl panel inset into the cover is slightly domed and is unusually engraved with a spray of tulips, a decorative motif first seen during the late Commonwealth period. The box is in quite excellent condition and the decoration on the cover is very crisp. A very rare box from this early period.
