"In the 18th century, snuffboxes were not merely refined fashion accessories or functional objects.
The social and symbolic context
During the reign of Louis XVI, the court of Versailles was a place where appearance and symbolism played a key role. Aristocrats sought to display their wealth and membership in secret or exclusive groups, while concealing certain aspects of their lives or actions. Snuffboxes perfectly met this need for discretion and mystery.
The secret role of snuff boxes
They were often subtle devices for concealing letters, coded messages, or sometimes locking mechanisms that allowed the user to access a hidden compartment. These secret compartments could contain personal notes, love letters, or politically sensitive information that should not be accessible to everyone. These boxes were also instruments of power and subterfuge for the aristocracy. For example, secret letters."
