Description
An antique 18th-century carved wood novelty snuff box of a comical dog with a brass collar, glass eyes, and a puzzle opening mechanism. Probably French. The tongue is metal, possibly the end of a tooth of a comb from a music box. 4" (10cm) long 3" (7.5cm) High Comical animal snuff boxes of this kind are the rarest of the rare and this one is almost certainly unique. The longer section of the base swivels away, allowing the shorter section to be pushed forward, releasing it from a tongue and groove key. The whole of the base then swivels to reveal the interior. Condition: No damage. Marks and patina are consistent with age.
