The box was retailed by Jean-François Garand (fl. 1748-1778) who was a renowned goldsmith in his own right. His shop 'A l'Observatoire' on the Pont Notre-Dame must have been very successful as Garand was a supplier of the Menus-Plaisirs du Roi from 1762 onward.
A Louis XV gold carnet by Jean Ducrollay (fl. 1734-1761) of 1750/1751 with similar basse-taille enamelled flowers is in the Thyssen Collection, as well as a similarly enamelled snuff-box by Jean Frémin of 1752/1753. The enamelling for those pieces has been attributed to Hubert-Louis Cheval de St-Hubert, an orfèvre-émailleur who worked from 1751 to 1762 (see A. Somers Cocks and C. Truman, The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection. Renaissance jewels, gold boxes and objects de vertu, London, 1984, nos. 56 and 58).
