A rare antique Ottoman snuff box, dating from around 1750-1800, a real gem for antique collectors and Ottoman history buffs. Made from a silver-plated metal alloy with a contrasting hinge, this oval box is distinguished by its classic design and detailed hand-made engravings.

On the front of the box there is a scene of a woman (Meryem) surrounded by different elements, such as a vase or a chalice, and nature, all on a finely dotted background. The lower part, i.e. the base of the box, continues the floral theme, with large hand-engraved flowers that demonstrate remarkable craftsmanship.

This box was used to store medicinal pills, poisons, powders, ENFIE tobacco or other solids. Although it shows a rough and handcrafted feel, the shapes and details are clear and of high quality, confirming its authenticity and originality in keeping with the Ottoman style of the time.

This piece is extremely rare and an important find for collectors, as it offers a genuine sample of the artistic splendor of the Ottoman Empire. Ideal for those with a deep interest in Turkish history and Ottoman goldsmithing.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
