BOITE A EPICE EN COQUILLAGE ET VERMEIL
PROBABLEMENT ALLEMAGNE DU NORD OU SCANDINAVIE, FIN XVIIÈME SIÈCLE-DEBUT XVIIIE SIECLE
Cette tabatière est finement gravée d’un décor qui incorpore des tenants en forme d’hommes des cavernes ou troll aux jambes poilues habillés en soldat romain qui suggèrent une origine nordique en l’absence de poinçons. En effet la tradition des trolls dont le nom vient du vieux norrois trǫll ou burs trouve son origine dans la mythologue germanique et le folklore scandinave. Bien que souvent décrits comme des êtres surnaturels, ils sont plus tard devenus dans le folklore scandinave plus humains sans caractéristique particulièrement grotesque.

Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
Apparently unmarked except French control marks on flange. Some light wear consistent with age and use. Light wear to gilding especially on contact points sur as the flange and the underside of foot-rim. The gilding look to be original although the underside of foot is gilded too. The cover is a bit tight due to the body rim being very slightly out of shape.
