UNSIGNED, TABATIÈRE - SNUFF BOX, CORNELIA AND HER JEWELS, ENAMEL AND TWO-COLORED GOLD

A fine and rare rectangular snuff box, possibly Italian, featuring a Geneva enamel plaque on the lid depicting Cornelia and her jewels, framed in rose gold against a chased scrollwork background. The slightly curved sides are adorned with a lozenge pattern, while the engine-turned base showcases a central plumy floral motif within almondshaped rose gold compartments set on a checkered lozenge ground. Equipped with a scrolling bow-shaped thumbpiece, the interior bears the stamps R, T crowned, and N.
