An 18th century Georgian tortoiseshell snuffbox, oval, engraved "Swete Wood, Parliament Street". NOTE - Swete Wood died in 1790 therefore the box predates this (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The box is in generally very good order. The tortoiseshell top is not cracked and has only minor surface scratches as one would expect. All of the silverwork is in good condition and there are no dents or significant scratches of note. The hinge is substantial and operates as it should. The box closes correctly. The tortoiseshell base although in generally good order is slightly more scratched than the top. There are two small surface gouges one approximately 5 mm x 2 mm the other 2 mm square. These are not particularly significant but are visible. Also to the underneath there is a very small 10 mm x 1 mm slither of silver missing. This forms part of the frame to the bottom section of tortoiseshell and is not significant. The box is relatively large. It is 4 ins in length, 3.25 ins deep and the height is approximately 1 inch at the tallest point.
