Description
This circa 1830 antique black lacquer papier mache snuff box is topped with an image of a man & 2 women in a garden. It is titled in French - L'Embarras du Choix (Spoiled For Choice). Likely, a scene from the play by 18th century playwright Louis de Boissy. Measurements: approx 2-7/8" diameter x under 3/4" thick. Very good condition with typical crazing to the lacquer, typical minor chipping, an old sticker on the reverse, very slight odor inside the box (my business associate doesn't smell anything). 11542 Take a look in my shop ~ Industrial Blonde ~ for more antique & vintage treasures! https://www.etsy.com/shop/Industrialblonde Antique Snuff Box Lacquer Papier Mache, French Theater Scene L'embarras Du Choix Playwright Louis De Boissy Georgian Regency Jane Austen Era
