Snuff Box of the Tzemach Tzedek – A Gift from His Son, Rebbe Maharash
Snuff Box of Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneersohn - the Tzemach Tzedek of Lubavitch.
Silver snuff box (marked; hallmarks worn - probably France, late 18th century).
Letter of authenticity enclosed (handwritten note, in English), signed in Hebrew by Rebbetzin Chanah Gurary (1899-1991), eldest daughter of Rebbe Rayatz: "I hereby gift... the tabok pushke snuff box of the Tzemach Tzedek. His son the Maharash traveled to Italy in 1858 and bought it as a gift to his father. I received it as a gift from my grandmother when I got married". Dated 17th
December 1989. A wooden box which may have also been used by the rebbe or his family is enclosed (the box was given together with the snuff box, though it is not mentioned in the letter).
For further information, please refer to Hebrew description.
