Snuff Boxes For Sale on 1stDibs

There is a range of snuff boxes for sale on 1stDibs. Frequently made of metal, silver and sterling silver, all snuff boxes available were constructed with great care. Snuff boxes have been made for many years, and versions that date back to the 18th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century. Snuff boxes made by Victorian designers — as well as those associated with Art Deco — are very popular at 1stDibs. Snuff boxes have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by Louis Kuppenheim, A&J Zimmerman Ltd. and Black, Starr Frost are consistently popular.

Finding the Right Tobacco Accessories for You

Antique, new and vintage tobacco accessories are not typically works of art, but, even if you’ve kicked the habit, an ornate mid-century modern ashtray, bronze cigar cutter or Art Deco cigarette case — collector’s items, all — will prove to be a unique accent piece for your bar cart, coffee table or mantel.

Cigar connoisseurs know the value of a good cigar box or humidor. Humidors safely store cigars at the right temperature so they don’t retain moisture and deteriorate in quality. Depending on the size and type of cigar, a cigar cutter is also an important accessory for the consummate cigar smoker. There are guillotine cutters, cigar scissors, V-cutters and punch cutters. These tools are useful, but, as part of a 19th-century upgrade for your contemporary desk, antique tobacco accessories are also a fun way to integrate personal expression into your workday. A sleek vintage cigarette case or lighter can introduce some pizzazz to the shelves of your home library or any other surface where you display your collectibles.

While ashtrays might not immediately strike you as interesting and provocative objects that deserve to be part of your decor, these accessories have taken on all manner of forms and styles over the years. Old glass ashtrays, which are quite popular and easily found in free-form, organic shapes, can be a purely decorative final touch when styling a coffee table. Visionary designers such as Isamu Noguchi — one of the most prolific and protean creative forces of the 20th century — popularized the idea of tobacco accessories as art with projects such as his decorative ashtrays.

Discover an extensive collection of antique, new and vintage tobacco accessories for your home today on 1stDibs.

Questions About Snuff Boxes
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    A snuff box is a small, decorated box used to store snuff ( scented, powdered tobacco). Snuff boxes come in two sizes: small pocket boxes and larger communal boxes for use at the table. Pocket boxes are often designed to retain a little amount of snuff for immediate use and are designed to hold a day or two's worth of snuff. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique and vintage snuff boxes.
