Late 18th century Continental red tortoiseshell and lacquer snuff, circular form decorated to the cover with exotic birds, with gilt rococo borders, 9cm diameter, interior with note of provenance '...much prized by him, very rare'
Condition Report
The lacquer has crazed with aged and darkened, meaning the painted decoration is not as clear as it would once have been. The mount to the rim of the lid and base are both loose but still present. Otherwise in good order.
