This very rare double compartment Snuff box, when opened up, has two separate compartments for different types of Snuff. The base is finely engraved with scale work surrounding a central panel containing a floral and foliate spray. The cover is engraved in a near identical design to the base. This example is in excellent condition, is well marked and has fine interior gilding. These Snuff Boxes seldom come onto the market and examples are rare, especially by these makers.
