Deux tabatières à décor émaillé, l'une Paris, la deuxième probablement italienne, XVIIIe siècle

Two European enamel snuff boxes, one Paris, the other likely Italian enamel, 18th century

The first previously attributed to the Frommery workshop but now thought to be of French origin, decorated with a relief gilt and enamelled decoration of festoons and trophies surrounding musical instruments, a similar decoration around the sides and base; the circular box likely Italian, and apparently by two different hands, the cover similar to Castelli maiolica painting, 7.8 and 8.2 cm wide respectively (some wear) (2)

Paris box: There are some surface losses scattered to the stamped decoration overall, especially on the underside where the box has stood and rubbed. There are some tiny cracks to the enamel on the top left corner of the cover top. There are also some further surface cracks to the enamel on the inside of the cover and one light crack to the inside of the box.

Italian box: There are scattered surface scratches and light wear to the enamel overall, with some surface rubbing especially around the edge of the underside where the box stands.

Otherwise generally good condition.
