Georgian Silver Leather Bound Combined Counter Box / Vinaigrette & Patch Box

A very unusual late 18th century Georgian silver combined Counter Box / Vinaigrette & Patch Box, of tubular form and bound with red morocco leather, a raised shaped thumb piece opens the main hinged compartment to reveal a silver gilt interior containing 30 engraved Chinese mother of pearl gaming counters. Pull-off lids to either end of the box conceal a Vinaigrette with hinged simply pierced grille and a leather lined Patch Box. Attached ring handles to the lids and a plain oval silver cartouche to the body.
