A Lovely Antique Scottish Snuff Box featuring rich, polished banded agate panels set within a beautifully engraved brass frame. Each agate panel was chosen and cut by hand, making every piece unique in pattern and tone - deep amber and russet tones with striking striations create a warm, glowing effect under light. Imagine it once nestled in the waistcoat pocket of a Highland gentleman, carried during travels through misty glens! - circa 1900.
* Reflects the national taste for incorporating local agates into functional art pieces. Ideal for display or discreet storage of tiny treasures.
