Description
A very sweet early 19th century (c.1810) antique carved mahogany snuff box in the form of a shoe. Finely carved detail of all the stitching to the sides and heel, and the laces to the tongue, topped off with a tiny love heart at the top. Brass pique work is used sparsely to the upper just for the boot holes and a single pin to the back with further decoration to the sole. A sliding lid reveals a very small compartment for snuff. An unusual and charming example.
