Carved Wooden Snuffbox – Cocoa Bean Shape – 19th Century

Antique Carved Wooden Snuffbox – Cocoa Bean Shape – 19th Century – Rare and Original


Magnificent antique snuffbox, hand-carved from wood in the shape of a cocoa bean. A rare and unusual handcrafted item, likely of European origin (France or England), dating from the 19th century, or perhaps slightly earlier (late 18th century).


This snuffbox is finely crafted, with a fully engraved design that imitates the texture of a cocoa pod. The hinged lid functions perfectly and opens to reveal a hand-carved interior. The object exudes authenticity; the patina is superb and testifies to its age.


A beautiful collector's item, ideal for enthusiasts of antique snuffboxes, folk art, or curiosities.
