French 18th century makers mark

Postby ktiggeloven » Thu Feb 26, 2015 2:33 pm

Hi everybody.

I recently purchased a 4 piece set of salts with blue glass liners. They are Paris 1789, but I have not been able to find the maker. The makersmark is NN. Any help with that is very welcome.
kind regards and thanks in advance,

Kasper

Hello Kasper
This appears to be the mark of Noel Neusecourt - NN and a rose - working in Paris at Quai des Orfevres from 19 July 1783 until 1793 when his widow took over the business. You show the mark upside down. I apologize for the lack of accents in this post; this computer doesn't speak French.
Hope this helps.

Ref: Nocq, vol. 3, p. 276.
