Lot Essay

For a comparable example enameled in black and white, see Christie’s, London, 25 November 2008, lot 438. Haydn Williams in 19th Century Snuffboxes, Snuffboxes in the Iakobachvili Collection, Volume II, Monaco, 2025, p. 250, no. 252, further illustrates a comparable snuff box though with straight sides hallmarked by Weishaupt Sӧhne, circa 1845.
