For a long time, small objects of applied art have become objects of a collecting passion that has no geographical or temporal boundaries - elegant boxes for various purposes, the most massive of which were snuff boxes. Interest in them, however, is quite understandable: their collections reflected historical events and artistic styles, the social status of the owners, social preferences, fashion trends and technical progress.
