Hi again to everyone, This is a Dutch Loddereine with a nice message on its cover that leaves no doubt about its function. I notice the following hallmarks: Base: Lion Passant mark Base: PC / 114? that could be the silversmith's mark Cover: capital letter L? which I interpret as the year 1806 Cover:...
Hi everybody, I've been trying for a few days to locate the hallmark I'm showing you, stamped on a silver vinaigrette. The shape of the object is a bit different to vinaigrettes that I've seen. Decoration looks baroque or rococo but I feel it is more modern than its appearance. Diameter: 4 cm Height...
Hi again to everybdy, This is a solid silver and agate snuff box. I do not know its dating. The decoration and shape is rococo, but I think that the model and decorations persist in the 19th century in English models. I have included it in the "other contries" section because I am not sure...
Hi to everybody! Finally, the observations of experts have allowed to attribute the authorship of the goldsmith work of this box to ANDRÉ-LOUS CASSÉ (Paris 1722-1779) Goldsmith stamps from Paris always have the same composition: 1.- crowned fleur de lis (Only the fleur-de-lis can be seen in this box...
Hello, First of all, thanks for your time and comments. I inform you that the box is only fully marked in its lower compartment. Only the discharge mark (monkey's head) appears on the lid. You are absolutely right that I should look for other names that begin with A., even though it is the most freq...
Hi everybody! I would like to know your opinion about this snuff box and its silver marks. I do not recognize them. I do not have the object in hand and therefore I cannot offer you better images. Thanks for your time and opinions Kind regards Jaume https://i.imgur.com/W0kSu5l.jpg https://i.imgur.co...
Hi everyone, I have finally managed to obtain images that confirm the chronological section of the box's elaboration 1.- Charge mark: Jean Baptiste Fouache 1775-1781 https://i.postimg.cc/QCrnftwF/C-5-N-tre-bo-te-1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/sg2H6b64/C-7-B.jpg 2.- Release mark: Monkey head (tête de sin...
Hi, If any of you follow this post, I wanted to share your opinions again. I have found three punches corresponding to the mark "monkey's head" (Poinçon de décharge : tête de singe 1775-1781) Due to the different impact of the hammer, they maintain distant but connected nuances. It's the &...
Thanks Peter, When I receive the box, I will take pictures of the smallest mark that should be a monkey head, shared with the example of the box that I have exposed (As it appears in this image) " Poinçon de décharge Tête de singe 1775-1781" We will see..... Regards to everybody Jaume http...
Hi, I've found this mark on a gold snuff box with the mark of "jurande" than belongs to Jean Baptiste Fouache 1775-1781. Do you think the marks with intermixed letters are similars? Thank You Jaume https://i.imgur.com/CSTH9Ow.jpg https://i.imgur.com/035mfsQ.jpg
Hi Peter, I have tried to follow your advice but I cannot find similar marks. I'll wait to receive the box and try to get a better image. Especially the smallest one that seems clearer. I keep thinking about possible French origin, for its 4 marks: jurande, charge, décharge and letter of the city......
Hi everyone, I suppose it will be difficult, but I would like to know your opinion about the marks of the snuff box that I show you. It is supposed to be French, probably Parisian and from the late 18th century. It is made in tortoiseshell with gold ornaments Thanks and advance and best wishes Jaume...
