Description: This is a delightful South Staffordshire gilt metal mounted octagonal shaped table snuff box and cover, circa 1770. The box has a white background with the body decorated in colorful floral vignettes and geometric white enamel panels all within scrolling gilt foliate borders. The cover of the box is painted with a half length portrait of a Lady wearing hat, abergine dress within scrolling gilt frame. Her face and other details are beautifully executed. The box measures approximately 3 inches by 3 inches and sits 1.5 inches from the table. I note a firing crack visible to inside cover and on reverse. The hinge needs repair, and there are some instances of wear visible to bottom rim. The item(s) are antique and sold as is/as found unless otherwise noted. Because they are old, they were used and will not look new or new-like. They likely show wear, fading, scratches, chips, cracks, past repair/restoration, original imperfections and/or damage from normal use. Significant issues are shown in photos. Examine photos carefully as they are part of the description. Imperfections were factored into pricing. No returns or refunds. Items sold for $100 or more may be shipped with insurance and signature requirement. No responsibility for loss, theft or damage that occurs AFTER your purchase has been delivered to the address you have provided. Any damage to purchase must be reported immediately and photos provided of both the exterior of the box and the damaged item to facilitate the filing of a claim.
