EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Snuff box, crafted in Dresden around 1775-80. The exquisite piece is accompanied by a miniature Geneva from c. 1800, both masterfully created by the talented Johann Christian Neuber (1763-1808). Measuring at a width of 8.6 cm, this Saxon hardstone snuff box is an absolute marvel. The intricate design of the snuff box features ornate patterns and swags that adorn its oval shape. The red metalwork adds a touch of elegance to its overall appearance, while the gold and enamel detailing further enhances its beauty. This German objet de vertu is truly a testament to Neuber's craftsmanship. In this photograph, we see a male figure dictating or writing with a quill pen near these stunning pieces. The decorative elements surrounding him create an atmosphere of opulence and sophistication commonly associated with the 18th century. The presence of the miniature Geneva adds another layer of fascination to this composition. Its delicate decoration and meticulous attention to detail make it an exceptional companion to the snuff box. Displayed against a dark background, these magnificent objects shine brightly as they are captured through eChristies Images' lens. This print allows us to appreciate not only their historical significance but also their artistic value as examples of fine German craftsmanship from centuries past.
