Description |
English: This double snuffbox has hinged covers of chiselled gold; an oblong pouch shape; a flattened section. The body is plain with reeded moulding. The covers form a panel divided in the center, with chiselled decoration in low relief on sanded ground. At the top, a ducal coronet surmounting curved vertical bands, arranged in pairs, with designs of trellis, birds under a baldachin, masks with festoons of drapery, busts of a woman or a bearded man in a medallion, all divided by swept lines terminating in acanthus foliage with heads of an eagle or a dragon. The exterior of the base engraved with an elaborate heraldic achievement, a shield-of-arms. The coat-of-arms is that of James, first duke of Chandos (1673-1744). |
