This papier mache snuff box, a bit smaller than the usual round, disc size, measures 2 3/8" in diameter. The transfer on the top, done in gold and grisaille, depicts the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus, who hold Easter Lilies emblematic of the Resurrection, an Easter theme. It shows rubbing on the sides, but is in very good condition, over all.

Measuring 46" square, this late Victorian design rug features a parrot, a spaniel, a cat and a squirrel each in a quadrant all with a surrounding ribbon border. The piece (see photos) is joined from two pieces. Condition is quite good with only a few worn or thin spots easily restored, visible only when held with a light behind it. It has no backing, which would be helpful if it were going to be used. English or American, c. 1910 -1920.
