The Property of a Gentleman, Christie's Genève, 6 mai 1979, lot 112
Condition
A very pretty box.

Catalogue Note
Un étui à tablettes non poinçonné, conservé au musée Cognacq-Jay, se trouve être décoré également de panneaux de vases de fleurs bleues et blanches de style rococo sur un fond émaillé de bleu translucide en basse-taille (J. de Los LLanos/C. Grégoire, Boîtes en or et objets de vertu, Paris, 2012, no. 85). Christiane Grégoire a établi une comparaison avec le numéro suivant, 86, un étui-nécessaire peint des mêmes fleurs entourées d'une couronne feuillagée, sur un fond guilloché tout à fait semblable à celui du lot offert. L'étui-nécessaire du musée Cognacq-Jay porte des poinçons de contrôle autrichiens du début du XIXe siècle.
