Catalogue Note
For a very similar box, the lid also inset with a Geneva enamel plaque, painted with philosophers disputing at a table, struck with three of the same marks including the makers' mark, see Sotheby's London, 7 June 2007, lot 75. The makers' initials also appear on early 19th century presentation boxes of the highest quality.
Anna Petronella Souchay (1753-1851), daughter of the goldsmith Marc Andre Souchay (1730-1811) married Charles Colin (1749-1817) in Hanau on 15 January 1776. The fifth of their thirteen children (Charles Colin's sons and daughters), Jacques Charles, married Jeanne Anne Thérèse Rémond in 1811. The gold box-making firms of Charles Colins Söhne of Hanau and Jean-George Rémond of Geneva and Hanau are well-known.
