A rectangular gold snuffbox with rounded corners and a hinged cover. The panels of the snuffbox are decorated with chased compositions in a technique that simulates shimmering, surrounded by a ribbed wavy ornament. Under the cover is a tobacco compartment with a mirror-polished surface. The cover is decorated with a miniature featuring a chased depiction of a romantic couple among trees; the inner side of the cover features an ivory miniature with a portrait of a lady among flowers. The bottom and side panels of the body are adorned with multi-color gold chased relief depictions of flowers, trees, fences, and birds on a field with a ribbed wavy ornament. The snuffbox is housed in a case lined with brown textured leather on the outside and burgundy velvet on the inside.
