May Exceptional Estates Auction
Lot 5:
Description
Elegant circa 1790-1810 French 18k gold snuff box with finely engine-turned panels framed by a crisp chased foliate border. The interior carries the maker’s lozenge for J.G. Remond & Cie (Geneva), along with a combination of French hallmarks including the Revolutionary-period rooster with rounded 3 and the Vieillard head, showing the piece remained in circulation and was officially re-assayed under a later system, as indicated by the recall hallmarks. (Recall hallmarks were used to reaffirm that the piece was authentic.) A well-made and substantial example with strong visual appeal. Weighs 75.5 grams and measures 3-1/8″ x 2″ x 5/8″. This item can be shipped in-house. Multiple lot combined shipping may require 3rd Party shipping.
Condition
See images. Very old resolder on lid and bottom, with separation at left front corner. Slight bump on lid edge along left hinge.
