Antique Piqué Inlay Snuff Box 19th Century Ebonite Tobacco Case, Victorian Silver Floral Inlaid Vulcanite Box, Collectible Curio Box, Gift

A refined and authentic 19th-century tobacco/snuff box (Victorian or Napoleon III era).

This collector's piece is crafted from black ebonite (vulcanite), a prestigious early material known for its deep, lacquer-like luster. The lid features a superb example of piqué work, with a central floral bouquet and a geometric border intricately inlaid with silver-toned metal.

The delicate wear on the edges reveals the warm brownish hue typical of genuine antique vulcanite, while the interior shows a rich, natural oxidation that confirms its historical use and originality. Perfect for collectors of antique boxes, "Object of Vertu," or as an elegant addition to a classic desk.
