Provenance
Wertheimer Collection
Gabriel Raoul Morel (1764-1832) is first fully recorded by Douet in 1806 although a Morel, unidentified by Christian name is referred to in 1804. Douet gives Morel's address as 5 Place Thionville. The number of boxes with Napoleonic associations suggest that Morel supplied the Imperial court.
The painting of the enamel panels is by the same anonymous hand as those on a box in the Thyssen Bornemisza Collection (Somers Cocks and Truman, no.89)
