Les frères Charles Toussaint (1720-1790) et Pierre-Étienne Toussaint (1726-1803/1806) comptent parmi les plus importants fabricants de boîtes en or de Hanau. Protestants d’origine française établis à Berlin puis à Hanau, ils se spécialisèrent dans la production de tabatières et d’objets de vertu inspirés des modèles parisiens, allant jusqu’à imiter les poinçons de la capitale française. Les poinçons apposés sur cette boîte, dont la lettre couronnée K, un poinçon de charge imitant celui de Julien Alaterre et leur marque de fabricant LFT, figurent parmi ceux couramment rencontrés sur leur production après 1775.
