A RUSSIAN PARCEL-GILT-SILVER AND NIELLO COMMEMORATIVE SNUFF BOX, ASSAY MASTER ALEXEI TORLOV, VELIKY USTYUG, 1773 circular, the cover depicting a line of infantrymen firing at fleeing troops on a tip of land with mountains to the background and boats at sea, the sides with a band of raised scrolls, the sides of the base with trophies of arms between piled cannonballs, the underside with a band of matching scrolls surrounding a coat of arms, base with town and assay marks only, 9.5cm diameter The arms are those of the Counts zu Windisch-Graetz, Barons von Waldstein (or Wallenstein) of Austria (J.B. Rietstap, Armorial Général, Vol.II, p.1098), perhaps for Count Josef-Niklas zu Windisch-Graetz (1744-1802), Chamberlain to Marie-Antoinette. The scene on the lid appears to depict an engagement on the southern tip of the Crimea, presumably during the Russo-Turkish war of 1768-1774. Russia had invaded the Crimea in 1771 and the following year Austria ended her alliance with the Ottomans, allying instead with Russia (and Prussia), so as to benefit from the Partition of Poland. Windisch-Graetz was probably involved in Austria's complicated diplomatic manoeuvres with Russia at this time, but his precise role in these exchanges and thus the exact significance of this box remains a mystery.

Lot 471
A HUNGARIAN GILT COPPER SOUVENIR TOBACCO BOX, HERRENGRUND, DATED 1745 oval, the sides engraved with the inscription '1745 Eysen Wahr ich . Kupfer bin ich . Goldt und Silber zirt mich . Knaster trag ich.' (I used to be iron . I am copper now . Gold and Silver cover me . Tobacco I carry), the hinged lid chased with a stag hunting scene with equestrian figures, hounds and trees at sunset, silver hinge and thumbpiece 12.5cm wide The inscription refers to the method of obtaining copper in the Herrengrund mines. The local water had a high concentration of copper sulphate and iron scraps were placed in hollows where the water collected and reacted with the sulphate to precipitate copper from the solution. The copper either settled as a sludge or formed a crust over the surface of the iron. This gave rise to the legend that the water had mysterious, if not magical properties and the consequent production of various souvenirs, such as tumbler cups and boxes.
