Antique Victorian Black Lacquer Box

This is a beautiful antique black lacquered snuff box from the Victorian 1800s. It would be perfect for storing small items in.

It comes in a lovely green gift bag and would be a fantastic present.

The rectangular box is made of wood and coated in black lacquer. The lid is hinged and features a very pretty hand painted design with a dark gold brushed pattern in the centre with a line around the edge.

The hinge works well. The lid does stay firmly shut so it could be used for travelling.

Condition

There’s a bit of a texture to the black lacquer on the lid which adds to the antique look. There’s a very faint crack to the lacquer at the front near the bottom edge which can be seen if you look very closely but this wouldn’t affect it’s use.

Size

It measures 7.1cm by 4cm (2.75 inches by 1.5 inches) with a depth of 2cm (0.75 inches).
