Antique carved openwork wooden etui / snuff / tobacco box depicting flowers, animals and people. Made in France, early 1800's.
Measures slightly under 4 1/2inches long.
Consists of two parts that screw together. Beautifully carved with intricate detail featureing openwork plants, a woman and dog holding a basket in it's mouth and a pair of ducks, amidst scrolling foliage and plants.
Very fine work.
Great patina and condition is very good considering the age, with a minor natural age crack in the wood - less than 1cm long (see 'photos).
