19th C Red Lacquered Snuff Box with Portrait of Lady James Bone 1950s would lay them out on

would lay them out on the coffee table and never put them away

and one of them is carved wooden whimsies like this chain

someone used a pencil to give her a subtle patch of pubic hair

I keep carrying them around as they are just a complete delight to hold in the hand

19th C Red Lacquered Snuff Box with Portrait of Lady James Bone 1950s would lay them out onI have a weakness for snuff boxes of all sorts and boxes of all sorts really! and really like the printed image of this woman against crimson, which to my eye lends her a bit of mystery and perhaps even scandalousness. I believe this one, lacquered papier mache, dates to the 1840s or so. 2 13 16 d x 3 4 t and in good condition overall, with a small edge chip to the lid and a bit of surface wear, as evident.
