"Such a pretty box! What I should call a nice visiting-box, but not suitable for morning wear." (Lord Petersham in Regency Buck.)

Since quite a few of Georgette Heyer's novels refer to snuff boxes, I started to wonder what they are like.

Here is a website with some really fine examples of rare snuff boxes for sale - not cheap either. Maybe some of these would have appealed to Lord Petersham.

And here is a nice article about antique snuff boxes along with some history and photos of some nice boxes.

If you want to start your own collection of Regency snuff boxes, eBay is a good place to start looking. Here are some examples:
