Set of 3 Victorian Horn Snuff or Trinket Boxes
$1,500
A set of 3 Horn boxes descended in the same New England family. These three consist of a snuff box, a change purse and a trinket oval shaped box with a gold star.
The change purse has a scene of carved dogs on top. The interior is quite eroded and worn away. There is a clip to the back of the horn. There is an obituary glued to the interior, presumably of the family member who owned it. The interior is rough the case is lovely.
The snuff box is quite nice with beautiful graining. There is wear to the edges and box as wear as surface scratches.
The third box is oval and quite nice. Beautifully made with a gold star on top. There is some missing spots of horn on the base.
