Louis XV Gold Box
Louis XV–Period Gold Snuff Box
Crafted 1750–1756
This rare gold snuff box was created during the height of the Louis XV period, an era celebrated for the refinement of Rococo decorative arts. Gold snuff boxes from this reign are exceptionally scarce, particularly examples of this caliber and size, where precious material and sophisticated workmanship are united in perfect harmony.
The elegant oval form is richly chased with radiating sunburst guilloché grounds, framed by delicately scrolling borders. Both the lid and body are decorated with finely modeled floral sprays executed in en quatre couleurs gold. The precision of the engraving and the subtle contrasts between the various gold tones reflect the extraordinary skill demanded by such complex ornamentation.
The box bears the Paris ox head charge mark used between 1750 and 1756, accompanied by later import marks.
