I specialise in affordable original artworks - mainly traditional watercolours and oil paintings but I also have a range of contemporary artworks including limited edition lithographic prints. I also stock a limited selection of antiques and collectables, including treen, ceramics and glass. I have now opened a large showroom at Wallingford Arcade, in Wallingford between Reading and Oxford, but I also trade online. My website, www.artandstuffgallery.com has a gallery section with several mini-galleries where my items are displayed, including more contemporary items not shown on LoveAntiques.

Description
A fascinating, and somewhat disburbing insight into a different world, but undoubtedly of historical interest! This is a lead tobacco box, probably from the 18th century when the slave trade was at its height. The finial to the cover is formed into a slave's head, appropriately because of course the tobacco plantations were worked by slaves. There is an inner lid, also of lead, which would have sat on the tobacco to keep it fresh. Lead is a relatively soft metal and the base has distorted slightly over time.
