English antique sterling silver double compartment snuff box by John Shaw, hallmarked from Birmingham in 1810.
Whilst a super quality box this one does come with issues.
The 4 base corners have been strengthened at some point and evidence of repair is evident either on the inside or outside, it has been done well and it has minimalized the loss of the pattern on the outside.
Measures 65x38x18mm.
