Lot 520
AN 'EMAIL DE SAXE' SNUFF BOX, PERHAPS FROMERY WORKSHOP, BERLIN AND / OR PARIS, CIRCA 1745 rectangular, the white ground covered with raised gilt tangled rope and entwined branches embellished with translucent enamel leaves and flowers inhabited by a bird, a fox and a butterfly to the lid, similarly decorated to the sides and base, the reeded silver rim-mounts with charge and discharge marks for Antoine Leschaudel, Paris, 1744-50, also with French 'swan' control marks 8.5cm long Traditionally all enamel boxes with encrusted gold-foil decoration have been catalogued as German, often particularly attributed to the Fromery Workshop of Berlin. Given that quite a number of these unsigned boxes have French silver mounts, such an attribution is now questioned. Since no suitable French enamelling workshops have been identified to date however, it has been suggested that these boxes may have been made without mounts in Germany, for import by French marchands-merciers, who would have had the silver mounts fitted in Paris. For further discussion on the subject, see the entry on a box at The Metropolitan Museum, New York, Accession No.1975.1.1551. Also see Bonhams, London, 5 June 2013, lot 59, for two similarly decorated boxes with French mounts.
