3 Mother Of Pearl Shell & White Metal Boxes
For your consideration, we offer these 3 lovely Mother of Pearl and White Metal snuff/pill boxes.
The largest one is shaped almost like a pair of insect wings, has a white metal ornate metal collar and the lid is formed by a small shell with a white metal cap with a ring on the top, so that it could be suspended on a chain. Length: 3 1/2" Width: 2 5/8"
The second one with an insect wing shape, with a black onyx lid with mother of pearl inlaid into it and two suspension loops one on each side of the plain collar. Length 2 1/2" Width: 2"
The third one is an oval shell shape and has a flat lid made of mother of pearl. Length:3" Width1 1/2"
We have seen similar boxes in various shapes, some as etui cases, some as snuff boxes or patch/pill boxes. The white metal appears to be silver and polishes as such, but as none of them are marked, we must call it white metal.
Condition: Very good. They are all intact with no apparent damage.
