18th century oval gold tabatiere by Claude François Thierry

Beautiful oval hinged box. The whole is streaked with straight or circular parallel lines. The lid is bordered in relief by a woven wreath and a dotted wreath. The central part is streaked with stars. The base is decorated in the same way, the central motif being larger than the beaded crown. The rim of the lid is decorated with a raised braid and a crown of tiny pearls. The frame is made up of four rectangular star-shaped panels interrupted by a motif holding a garland on a sand-blasted background.
