Scottish Horn and Silver Snuff Mull

A rare Scottish very large table snuff mull.

• The name "mull" is dialect for "mill" and some snuff mulls featured devices for smashing snuff.
• This typical Scottish design from the 1870s has been fashioned from a cow's horn and decorated with silver mounts and translucent banded agate.
• Snuff mulls are often never hallmarked; this piece is solid silver which has been acid tested and shows to be 925 standard.
