Charming Earlyish 19th Century Hand-painted Papier Mache Snuff Box with Pear and Cherries sweet Though I haven't taken them

Though I haven't taken them out of their frames

and from a view that emphasizes her classic "Venus Pudica" pose

I can imagine Brooks carried it around in his pocket for many many years

or cabinet cards as here--such an interesting period as painted portraits gave way to photographic ones

Charming Earlyish 19th Century Hand-painted Papier Mache Snuff Box with Pear and Cherries sweet Though I haven't taken themSo pretty, a snuff box and a little hand painted still life in one. And the best orange. Earlyish 19th century I believe, lacquered papier mache. 2 5 8" d x 1" t. One old, clean split to the side of the lid as documented and just light general wear, stable and sound. Last two photos show it next to second snuff box found along with it, listed separately.
