Snuifdoos van goud, ovaal, met zes geëmailleerde voorstellingen c. 1760 - 1762

This small, oval snuff box, crafted by Noël Hardivillier around 1760-1762, is a fine example of 18th century French decorative arts. The box features six intricately painted scenes on an enameled surface, set within gilded frames. The box, measuring only 3.4 cm high, 6.2 cm wide, and 4.8 cm deep, demonstrates meticulous attention to detail. This exquisite work of art, likely intended for a wealthy patron, reflects the Rococo style's emphasis on elegance and elaborate ornamentation.
