An Italian gold-lined tortoiseshell and gold piqué snuff box, early/mid 19th Century.

The cover and underside of the box are set with two miniature views of shipping off Gibraltar; the gold piqué work is of particularly fine quality, 10cm wide.

The box was discovered in 1994 in a cabinet drawer which had been jammed tight for some time!
