Fruit & Floral Scene Snuff Box

This is a really nice snuff / patch / pill / trinket box made in Germany in the early 19th century I believe. I have not been able to pinpoint an exact maker but the piece is of a really nice quality. The box has a nice shape to it with a relief "shell" design to the top and sides, a relief floral design to the back of the top as well as the back side and a hand painted floral and fruit arrangement to the top and bottom. The inside lid has a really nice flower vase sitting on a table with some fruit strew across the table hand painted on it. The quality could very well be by the top German maker but I could not find this exact shape anywhere so for now it is unknown. The mounts seem to be brass and are in great shape plus it closes perfectly and stays shut. Unmarked which is normal and of no help. The snuff box is about 1.375 inches tall, 2.625 inches wide and 2.125 inches deep. A really nice looking piece! Please email me for more information or photos.

Price is $999
