拍品專文

This type of box decorated in gold and mother-of-pearl Burgau and more usually of German origin, has previously been attributed to Johann Martin Heinrici, a painter, enamellist, chemist and engraver at the Meissen factory from 1742. It was not until 1991 that Charles Truman reattributed these boxes to Taddel.
Heinrich Taddel (1715 - c.1796) is recorded as a master goldsmith in Dresden from 1739, the year in which he was appointed director of the Green Vaults, the treasury of the Electors of Saxony and Kings of Poland. He was succeeded by his son-in-law Johann Christian Neuber.
