Snuifdoos van goud, rechthoekig, versierd met zes herbergscènes in émail c. 1758 - 1775

This 18th century gold snuff box, crafted by Jean Ducrollay, is a beautiful example of Rococo style. Featuring six miniature scenes of everyday life, likely tavern scenes, on the exterior, the box is adorned with intricate goldwork and accented with emeralds. The small size and delicate details make it a prime example of the Rococo emphasis on refined and playful ornamentation. This box, crafted between 1758 and 1775, is likely a testament to the popularity of snuff-taking in the 18th century.
