294 - German gold snuffbox with a central miniature. 750/000 yellow and rose gold. Total weight: 142.60 grams. The snuffbox bears the hallmark of the city of Hanau and the signature of master goldsmith Jacques Charles Colin, a leading figure in the creation of luxury snuffboxes for the international aristocracy between the 18th and 19th centuries. The son of Charles Colin, founder of the goldsmith dynasty, and Anna Petronella Souchay, a descendant of a family of great master goldsmiths of French Protestant origin, Jacques Charles consolidated the success of his artistic production of gold snuffboxes thanks to the collaboration between German goldsmiths, excellent engravers and embossers, and the formidable skill of Swiss artisans in creating miniatures and enamels.
