Antique painted scene on metal tobacco box - $185 - (Thousand Oaks, CA)

Here is a charming hand painted tobacco box with a depiction of two gentlemen in 18th century clothing playing cards on a Pembroke table. They are taking a break from the game. On the table is a candlestick,some cards, and an ale mug. Both men have lit their pipes and are looking off dreamily into the distance. I am speculating that this box is English, but could be American, I do not know. Just right for some family photos, those treasured letters or your bezoar collection.
