GOOD ANTIQUE EARLY 19TH C FRENCH SAILOR / POW CARVED COCONUT SNUFF BOX NR
I will be selling a good number of interesting antiques including Tribal art, Chinese and European antiques. PLEASE NOTE: This auction is in GB Pounds Sterling.This is a good French, early 19th Century, sailor or pow work carved coconut snuff box with the romantic image of a pair of birds to the un...derside and a panoply of musical instruments carved to the lid. I am selling quite a few pieces of European and other antiques (including more snuff boxes, carved nuts etc) over the next two days (Thursday 26th and Friday 27th) so please view my other auctions. It is my policy not to end standard auctions early with a 'buy it now' and at the end of an auction I will not make second chance offers. Please read down the entire listing for Dimensions, Condition, Postage & Payment Details - most of the information you will need is here on this page but please get in touch if you don't find what you are looking for. Condition & Dimensions
A split in the lid to the right hand side and a finer one to the opposite side. A very small hole to the top of the box, possibly for suspension or possibly a single worm hole. Other general wear as per the images.It measures about 7.7cms across.
Postage & Packing
I will be posting from Belgium from TUESDAY 8TH DECEMBER so please make payment as early as possible, ideally within 3 working days. PLEASE be a little patient with the post - I will get them posted asap but I work on my own, have a large amount to post and I do pack carefully. I also post in the order that things are paid for. Any delays by the postal services either at my end or abroad are rarely my fault. I always post out at the latest 3 working days after receiving cleared payment but sometimes an item is slowed up by a backlog of post or delayed whilst being processed through customs. To give you an idea it generally takes about 3-7 working days within Europe and 7 - 14 working days to the U.S. / rest of the world. If speed is of the essence then I can use a courier (in my experience UPS / DPD are good in my region) but prices for couriers start at around £30 / £40GBP for the very smallest object and VERY quickly escalate depending on size, weight and destination. I add on very little, often not enough to cover the packaging materials, so the price I quote really is as fair as possible.
