| Parquetry Inlaid Circular Snuff Box |
Inlaid with a geometric parquetry design and an ebony and ivory disc in the centre of the block pattern, this fantastic rosewood circular snuff box is assumed to be Tunbridge Ware but of an unknown pattern. (Unless someone out there knows differently)
It is extraordinarily tactile and fits together with very fine tolerances requiring a satisfying amount of force to open and close it.

| Rare 19th Century Ivory Spinning Top |
A beautifully crafted ivory spinning top numbered from 1 - 8, breaks down into four parts (see pictures) with a hole in the main shaft persumably for the string. Extremely finely made, well balanced, when spun it keeps going for a long time.
i can't decide whether this is a child's toy or for gambling or gaming.
This makes it difficult to date, for that reason I am going for 19th Century, but it could be earlier.
