19th-century Wooden Shoe Snuff Box with Sliding Lid fruit inspired by warm summer eveningsAmong John Derian's trove of handpicked vintage & antique goods, is this charming handcrafted small wooden box in the shape of a shoe. Popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, snuff boxes were small decorative items used to carry tobacco or smaller items and often crafted in the shape of everyday objects. A nod to whimsy and practicality, this wooden shoe container has a sliding wooden lid and a small compartment. Details 3. 5 L x . 75 W x 1. 25 H Wood
