William & Mary Snuff Box Made in London, circa 1690
About the Item
A Very Rare William & Mary Snuff Box Made in London circa 1690. Maker's Mark of Ah With a Crown Above and a Cinquefoil Below.
The Snuff Box is of escutcheon form with plain sides and base and a slightly domed cover. The cover is most beautifully, and unusually, engraved with foliate scroll work, strap work and a bearded mask motif. The very top of the cover, near to the hinge, also displays finely detailed swimming dolphins, engraved to the finest standard. The base is engraved with the contemporary initials A.B and the interior displays original mellow gilding. The side of the base is also well struck with the maker's mark which is shown on page 145 of Jackson's "Gold & Silver Marks".

- 17th C.

Adorned with highly decorative gilt brass strapwork and decorated entirely in knife cut oysters of kingwood, this box is fit for the most discerning of collectors. The large gilt brass shield-shaped clasp opens on a push-spring release to reveal a box interior lined in rosewood with one drawer and securing bolts. Once the lid is opened you can reach inside to slide the original gilt brass bolt lock to open the fall. Once the fall is open you will find a drawer lined in oak and simulated kingwood. The box appears decorative, but it was also very difficult to break open or steal. It has a strong lock to the centre and two bolts concealed in the sides, so that it could be screwed down into floorboards if necessary or that of a horse-drawn carriage. Strong boxes veneered in oysters of Princewood such as this were luxury objects. The cabinet-makers who would have constructed and veneered the carcase apparently sold them, often using tropical hardwood veneers, and mounted it with sets of mounts, handles and locks bought in from brass founders. The elaborate veneering and conspicuous gilded brass mounts show that the appearance of these objects was important. Thomas Pistor, of Ludgate Hill, London worked with the renowned cabinetmaker Gerrit Jensen...Category
