A rectangular gold snuffbox decorated with intricate floral ornament in gold against a deep blue enamel ground. The lid features a symmetrical composition of scrolling foliage, stylized flowers, and delicate arabesques, centred on a basket of flowers. The design is enclosed within an elaborate ornamental border, while the sides are embellished with matching decorative motifs. The contrast between the richly worked gold decoration and the dark enamel creates an elegant and harmonious effect.
