Box 1787 - 1788

"Box" is a silver snuffbox created by French silversmith Jacques François Varin between 1787 and 1788. The box is a beautiful example of late 18th-century French silversmithing, featuring intricate engravings of floral motifs and a central medallion. The detailed craftsmanship and delicate design showcase the skill of Varin, a prolific artist whose work is highly sought after by collectors today. The snuffbox is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
