A gold and enamel oval snuff box, maker’s mark NC over Q A gold and enamel oval snuff box, maker s mark NC over Q , with prestige marks including the charge of Julien Alaterre and date letter O, probably Hanau, late 18th century, the lid inset with a late 19th century enamel plaque painted with a lady and her pet bird within a translucent green border, engraved bezel, the reserve, side and base enamelled with bands of translucent chartreuse green overlaid with gold rope twist, divided by narrow paired bands of opaque turquoise, the mounts chased with rosettes and green-enamelled leafy swags, 6.7cm wide Provenance: purchased pieces in Germany in the 1920s, and later in New York in the 1940s ** This lot is subject to 5% Temporary Import Duty and the buyer must pay Temporary Import Duty on both the hammer and the buyer's premium at a rate of 5%.
A three colour gold and enamel snuff box by Jean-Joseph Barriere A three colour gold and enamel snuff box by Jean-Joseph Barriere, charge and discharge mark of Julien Alaterre, Paris, 1772-73, the rim numbered 1086, rectangular with canted corners, the lid inset with an oval enamel plaque painted with rustic lovers playing with a bird, bordered by a gold frame finely chased with palm sprays and laurel and surmounted by a mask, the reserve, sides and base enamelled in translucent steel grey over rippled engine turning, within borders variously chased with laurel, rosettes, scrolls and shells, 7.4cm wide Jean-Joseph Barriere was apprenticed to Charles-Nicolas-Loys Dumoussay in October 1750; in January 1763 he became a master, sponsored by Henri Delobel, and entered his mark: a crowned fleur-de-lys with two grains and the initials JJB. Records reveal the increasing quantities of gold used by Barriere from the mid 1770s, an apparent indication of his developing business, which is further endorsed by the number of extant snuff boxes with his maker s mark dating from this time. Barriere s work was admired by his contemporaries: in the magnificent collection of snuff boxes formed by Furst Carl Anselm von Thurn und Taxis there were eight boxes from his workshop, see Lorenz Selig, Golddosen des 18. Jahrhunderts aus dem Besitz der Fursten von Thurn und Taxis, Munich, 2007.

A three colour gold boite a miniature, indistinct mark, probably Hanau, circa 1830, rectangular with rounded sides and projecting thumbpiece, the lid inset with an oval miniature painted with stag hunt in a wood, chased acanthus leaf bezel, the matt reserve decorated with floral clusters, leaf and berry borders, the sides with similar flowers, the base centred with a ribbon-tied bouquet, 7cm wide This collection of historically important boxes and watches was created between the 1920s and 1940s, when the current vendor's grandfather purchsed pieces in Germany in the 1920s, and later in New York in the 1940s. The collection has the collector's eye for rare and exquisite pieces, and a fervent interest in the Bonaparte family. Some parts of the collection, aside from the current collection inherited by the current vendor, which were sold in the 1990s, included a pair of silver gilt verrieres made for Napoleon Bonaparte's mother, Letizia Ramolino (known as Madame Mere); and a silver gilt soup tureen from the Demidov service, all made by the Parisian silversmith Odiot. The collection reveals the highest connoisseurship and the deepest passion for the finest craftsmanship of the most famous jewellers, silversmiths, box makers and watchmakers from the 18th to the 20th century. ** This lot is subject to 5% Temporary Import Duty and the buyer must pay Temporary Import Duty on both the hammer and the buyer's premium at a rate of 5%.
A gold mounted Steinkabinett circular bonbonniere set with a micromosaic plaque A gold mounted Steinkabinett circular bonbonniere set with a micromosaic plaque, unmarked, by Johann Christian Neuber, Dresden, the micromosaic, workshop of Giacomo Raffaelli, Rome, circa 1790, set à jour with fifty seven specimens of Saxon hardstones, each numbered on the chased gold mounts, the lid mounted with a micromosaic plaque of a goldfinch perched on a branch against a white background within a millefiori border , 8.2cm diameter Provenance: sale, Ball & Graupe. Berlin, 17 December 1927, lot 132 (1400 Reichs-M.); private collection Provenance: purchased pieces in Germany in the 1920s, and later in New York in the 1940s Literature: Walter Holzhausen, Johann Christian Neuber, Dresden, 1935, no. 52, illust.; Alexis Kugel (Ed.), Gold, Jasper and Carnelian; Johann Christian Neuber at the Saxon Court, London, 2012, p. 368, no. 182, illust. By mounting the specimens à jour , Neuber makes a feature of the varying degrees of translucency of the hardstones; it is noteworthy how those on the lid tone with the colours of the micromosaic. A similar hardstone specimen bonbonnière by Neuber, the lid inset with an associated micromosaic plaque of birds drinking from a cup, is in a private collection, see Kugel, op. cit. , p. 368, no. 180. Johann Christian Neuber (1736-1808) served his apprenticeship under Johann Friedrich Tectaon; in 1762 he submitted his masterpiece, its favourable reception allowing him to join the goldsmith s guild in Dresden and to register as a burgher of the city. By 1768 he was recorded as artisan maker of galanteries to the Court , an indication of how rapidly his skills were recognised. In 1775, wishing to ensure a good supply of hardstone for his work, Neuber obtained a concession to mine amethyst and jasper near Schlottwitz, south of Dresden. His career and workshop continued to flourish until the late 1780s, when he began to suffer financial setbacks; retiring in 1805, he died three years later in reduced circumstances. Giacomo Raffaelli (1753-1836) came from a family who worked for the Studio del Mosaico della Fabbrica della Basilica di S. Pietro in Rome. He is credited with many of the innovations in mosaici in piccolo , although it is probable some had been developed a little earlier. In 1775 Raffaelli held the first recorded exhibition of micromosaics at his private studio in the Piazza di Spagna. His subject matter was varied, from birds, flowers and animals, to views of the monuments of Rome, all of which were popular with Grand Tourists. A micromosaic plaque attributed to Giacomo Raffaelli, showing the same bird in reverse and perched on a fruiting branch, is in the Gilbert Collection, inv. no. 1996.623 (MM237). ** This lot is subject to 5% Temporary Import Duty and the buyer must pay Temporary Import Duty on both the hammer and the buyer's premium at a rate of 5%.
