專家說明


The elongated shape of this snuff-box might be what was referred to in 18th century inventories as boîte en beignoir (in the shape of a bathtub).
Pierre-André Barbier became a Master in 1764 and is recorded working in the rue Quincampoix until 1776. A box by him is in the Louvre Museum (acc. No. OA 7962), and two are in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (acc. No WA1948.24 and WA1948.10).
