"Gold Box And Composition From The 18th Century"
Circular box or snuffbox in gold and composite material. As its name suggests, it is made up of a material composed of crushed fish scales to which a binder and a pigment of one's choice are added, thus forming a composite material. Fine threads of yellow gold are then encrusted in it. A frame decorated with yellow gold braid frames this composition. The snuffbox pusher is chiseled with a fine foliage pattern. The hinge is highlighted by four gold rivets. The interior is entirely lined with brown tortoiseshell.Some gaps and wear.
