Antique Collectables 18thc Horn Cheroot Box With Carved Rider & Horse

One of the finest late 18thc carved cheroot /cigarette cases I have bought, beautifully carved completely out of horn, showing a huntsman /soldier on horseback resplendent in clothes of the period and the horse with every fine detail carved expertly....it is framed by "white metal" could possibly be silver, but not hallmarked....so cannot be sure...each end is carved with an acorn and oak leaves.....in excellent condition....a real collectors piece.
