Rectangular gilt-brass snuffbox with rounded corners. The design of the body features two independent compartments for tobacco, each equipped with its own hinged lid covered in white enamel. The exterior surfaces of both lids and side walls of the snuffbox are decorated with applied gold paillons (shaped foil) against translucent green enamel background. The appliqués illustrate allegorical scenes of honouring princes and heroes of antiquity: depicting the biblical King David, rulers, a winged figure of Glory holding a laurel wreath, and heralds with trumpets. All characters are posed on podiums, surrounded by floral garlands, trees, grass shoots, butterflies, and birds, all within delicate gilded borders.

The interior sides of the lids feature painted compositions in the form of baskets with bouquets of lush summer flowers, executed within wavy frames against a white enamel field.
