    Description

    French pressed wood snuffbox, circa 1800.
    The figure on horseback is likely Louis XIII, and appears to be based on a bronze housed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in England.
    The wording, in French, mentions Henri IV and Louis XIII.  The back of the box is covered with tiny stars, and has a circle of rays in the middle.  The interior of the bottom is lined with horn.
    Overall good condition;  the lid has two small old chips on the edge, and a bit of wear to the finish.
    Measures about 3 1/8" diameter x 3/4" high.
