Christian Eduard Franke-Landwers Christoph Freiherr von Seckendorff

Description

Probably Dresden around 1750

Rectangular heliotrope plates are mounted here in a gold cage frame, so that the semi-precious stones are shown to their best advantage. The frame of the precious stone is made with lush rocailles and flowers in the best goldsmith's art.

The special pleasure of the Saxon court in the use and processing of beautiful, mostly local stones is also shown since the 17th century in the combination of these stones with the most precious frames. Our tobacco tin is a wonderful example of this.

Height: 3.7 cm, width: 6.0 cm, depth: 4.5 cm
