French Carved Bone Snuff Box, c. 1820 to 1860

A fine rectangular snuff box of mellowed bone, the flat hinged lid incised with the motto AMITIE (friendship), symbolising bonds of affection in the Romantic era. Measuring approximately 9 cm × 4 cm × 1.7 cm, the box features a brass pin hinge and an even, time-worn patina, with natural grain and pores visible throughout. An attractive example of early 19th-century French personal boxes, combining charm, sentiment, and collectability.
