Snuffbox 1803

This small silver snuffbox, created by Samuel Pemberton in 1803, is an example of early 19th-century craftsmanship. It features a simple yet elegant design with a diamond-shaped pattern and is a testament to the enduring popularity of snuffboxes during this period. The box, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a reminder of the intricate details and artistry that went into even the most utilitarian objects in the past.
