Late 19th-century piece with a rounded rectangular shape and refined continuous ornamental work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"396\" data-end=\"1008\"\u003eSnuff boxes were personal items widely used between the 18th and 19th centuries to store powdered tobacco, as well as small everyday items. This example stands out for its niello silver technique, a traditional decorative process that consists of filling engravings with a dark sulfurized alloy to create strong contrasts on the silver. The result is a surface rich in geometric and vegetal details, highly prized in 19th-century European decorative silversmithing. Its gilded interior protected the contents from oxidation and provided an elegant and functional finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1010\" data-end=\"1524\"\u003ePeriod \/ Style: Late 19th century\u003cbr data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1069\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1010\" data-end=\"1524\"\u003eOrigin: Europe\u003cbr data-start=\"1083\" data-end=\"1086\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1010\" data-end=\"1524\"\u003eCirca: Late 19th century\u003cbr data-start=\"1114\" data-end=\"1117\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1010\" data-end=\"1524\"\u003eMaterials: Niello silver\u003cbr data-start=\"1142\" data-end=\"1145\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1010\" data-end=\"1524\"\u003eMarks or Hallmarks: —\u003cbr data-start=\"1165\" data-end=\"1168\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1010\" data-end=\"1524\"\u003eAcid Test: Performed\u003cbr data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1198\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1010\" data-end=\"1524\"\u003eMeasurements: 9.5 cm x 3.23 cm x 3 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1233\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1010\" data-end=\"1524\"\u003eWeight: 54.46 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1010\" data-end=\"1524\"\u003eCondition: These items are not new; they show signs of wear and may have scratches typical of their age and use.
