Snuffbox 1761 - 1771

This silver snuffbox, crafted by Philippe Ernst Schindler (the younger) between 1761 and 1771, features a delicate cameo portrait of Anna, likely referring to Anna of Russia, set within a decorative border. The intricate details and the use of white enamel create a sense of depth and elegance, characteristic of Rococo-style decorative art. This small yet exquisite object, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the skill and artistry of the 18th century.
