A well-used antique rectangular snuff box crafted from papier-mâché, measuring approximately 2 ½ inches.

Collectors will appreciate the box’s unpolished state, which enhances its appeal as an authentic artifact of social history. Its compact form, dark patina, and visibly aged surface make it a tactile reminder of the era when snuff-taking was a popular ritual across Europe.
