A snuffbox in an oval-shaped gold body, decorated with a guilloche ornament, with a detachable lid. In the center of the lid, there is an oval image in the grisaille technique of a neoclassical scene on a pink field, framed by a chain of rose-cut diamonds in a silver setting. The edge of the lid is decorated with a chased border of interwoven ribbons and laurel wreaths. On the front side of the lid with a chased ornament in the form of intertwining ribbons, there is a thumbpiece for opening the lid made of silver branches with diamonds of various sizes. Under the lid, there is a compartment for tobacco with marks on the mirror-polished surface of the base and the lid. Guilloche panels of the side surface in profiled frames are divided by images of leafy figure-eights on a matted (canfarent) field with fluted pilasters on the sides.
