18th Century English Papier-Mâché Shell Snuff Box

An 18th-century English papier-mâché snuff box shaped as a shallow shell with a rounded oval contour. The dark lacquer surface shows a soft, even gloss that heightens the subtle relief of the form. Scaled for the hand or writing table, it introduces a quiet sculptural note in a compact footprint. A considered example of early English papier-mâché work.
