A beautifully preserved Victorian-era papier-mâché snuff box featuring a delicate printed portrait of a clergyman on the lid.

This 19th-century piece exudes historical charm with its curved rectangular form and hinged lid, opening to a smooth black interior once used to hold finely ground snuff tobacco.

The detailed image, likely a popular religious or political figure of the time, is protected beneath a glossy lacquer finish, giving it both character and period appeal.

This is a fine example of Victorian folk art and makes a wonderful addition to any antique snuff box or tobacciana collection.
