A wonderful silver gilt snuff box by John Shaw, Birmingham 1806. Beautiful bright-cut engraving to the hinged cover and base. Cross lines to the ends. Gilt interior, invisible hinge.

In very good antique condition, the hallmarks are good, hinge working well , there is some surface wear including a few scratches and dings/dents to the ends (see photos), gilding is still bright, engraving very good, usual signs of wear all commensurate of age and use. A beautiful Georgian period piece.
