Joseph Wolfgang Schmidt is recorded in Vienna 1769-1836. During the period 1801-11 he is recorded at Kohlmarkt 1218, and listed as a Galanteriearbeiter 1802-36. For a similar example see Sotheby's, Geneva, 6 May 1981, lot 125, a shaped rectangular bloodstone box with identical chinoiserie scene with the charge and decharge marks for Hubert Louvet 1732-1738, Paris, 1737/1738. Similarly see Sotheby's, Geneva, 7 May 1982, lot 136, for a Viennese cartouche-shaped bloodstone mounted box with maker's mark D.D Vienna, 1795, the cover applied with two peasants carousing. For another lot by this goldsmith see lot 82.
