A very unusual 19th century continental walnut tobacco box with carved leaf decoration to the top and front, together with stylised leaf carving for the feet and handles, the lid opening to reveal a large circular reservoir with a carved rim to store your tobacco, with its original lock and key.
This is a design that I have not come across before and would make a very nice addition to a collection.
