Description

A gold-mounted lacquer snuff box, German, mid-18th century

rectangular with rounded corners, the European lacquer panels painted with a pagoda by a hilly riverscape, a willow, ducks, rockery, fern and other river flora, wavy gold mounts, applied thumbpiece chased with a stylised shell, apparently unmarked

6.7cm., 2⅝in. wide

note to come - very accurate European (German?) lacquering, whoever did this clearly had a Japanese lacquer panel at hand for comparison (see the willow, the rockery etc!). Check with Mark.
