This silver tobacco box, crafted by English silversmith Nathaniel Lock in 1714-15, showcases the artistry of the period. The oval-shaped box features an intricate engraved design on its lid, showcasing a coat of arms surrounded by swirling, baroque-style flourishes. The box is a testament to Lock's skill and the popularity of tobacco use in 18th-century England. It can be viewed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
