The design of this snuffbox relates closely to lead plaquettes made as models for gold snuffboxes attributed to Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier. Several surviving gold snuffboxes made to these designs are marked by the Royal goldsmith Daniel Gouers (d. 1754), and it is possible that this box was made in the same workshop. (see Peter Fuhring, Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier, 1999, figs. 19-24, pp.188-190.)
