About the Item

A silver and gold Moroccan snuff box from circa 1920 is a stunning example of North African craftsmanship, blending traditional Berber and Islamic design elements. The exterior of the box is adorned with elaborate arabesque patterns typical of Moroccan art. The box is rectangular, made primarily of silver, with intricate detailing and ornamentation. These patterns are symmetrical and repetitive, reflecting the influence of Islamic decorative arts. The interior is lined with a smooth finish, designed to hold finely ground snuff. A warm patina has developed over time, giving the box a sense of history and enhancing its ornate details. The use of gold accents adds a layer of luxury and richness, highlighting key features of the design. The gold embellishment is used to accentuate the central ownership monogram prominently displayed and reads "Shimon AR"I Chazut" in Hebrew between two stylish laurel leaf bouquets. Hallmarks are not present typical of most Morrocan-made Judaica, the designs are the indicators of the origin and quality of the piece, as Moroccan silversmiths were known for their skilled craftsmanship. This snuff box combines both functionality and artistry, with its blend of silver and gold making it an exquisite collector’s item from the early 20th century.
