A snuffbox in a cylindrical-shaped body made of three-colored gold, with a detachable lid. Under the lid, there is a compartment for tobacco with a mirror-polished surface. The lid and the lower panel of the base are decorated with a pattern in the form of smooth dots on a guilloche field of thin concentric and double wavy lines. The edge of the lid is decorated with a border with a garland with flowers and leaves of multicolored gold on a matted (canfarent) field between chased tracks and polished gold grooves. The rim of the lid and the framing of the lower panel of the base are also decorated with a chased border of grooves and a border of multicolored gold. The guilloche side surface with a pattern of smooth dots is decorated with a garland of gold beads and a relief ornament in the form of a twisted cord between smooth grooves along the lower edge. Marks are stamped on the inner sides of the lid and the base. The snuffbox is stored in a case made of burgundy-colored leather with gold embossing on the top and side surfaces, with a hook clasp.
