"Snuifdoos van goud, ovaal met rechte wanden" (Snuff Box of Gold, Oval with Straight Sides), created between 1784 and 1786, is a finely crafted gold snuff box by Dutch silversmith Laurens Potmans. The box is decorated with engraved pumpkin branches and fruit on both the front and back, and it has a braided border encircling the sides. This delicate and intricate goldwork exemplifies the skill and craftsmanship of 18th-century Dutch metalwork. The oval shape and intricate engravings are characteristic of the Rococo style, which flourished in Europe during the 18th century.
