About the Item

An exceptional, fine and impressive antique English 18 karat gold snuff box; an addition to our 19th century collection. This exceptional antique English 18k yellow gold snuff box has an oblong form with rounded ends. The body of this antique box is embellished with engine turned decoration, accented with tooled borders. This impressive antique 18k gold box is fitted with a hinged hallmarked cover ornamented with further engine turned decoration to the upper plateau; the underside of the box bears the same design as the cover. The anterior rim of the cover incorporates an impressive applied yellow gold thumbpiece, ornamented with cast floral festoon decoration. The interior of the cover is embellished with the contemporary engraved inscription 'Presented to Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Cother C.B. on his retirement from the Service by the Officers of the 83d Regiment, As a token of their respect and esteem, MDCCCXXIX'; these Roman numerals pertain to 1829. Condition This antique 18k gold snuff box is an exceptional gauge of gold, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The cast decoration is very sharp and the engine turned and engraved decoration is very crisp. The hallmarks to the interior of the body and part hallmarks to the interior of the cover of this English gold box are very clear; the hallmarks are deeply struck due to the exceptional gauge of gold. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this antique 19th century piece.
