拍品专文

Pierre-François Drais (1726-1788) was a pupil of one of his Ducrollay cousins, who was a Parisian master goldsmith. He struck his mark in 1763 and was soon employed by the service of the Menus Plaisirs du Roi. Thus he was commissioned for the famous gold box made for the marriage of the Comte d'Artois to Princess Marie-Thérèse of Savoy. As a result, Drais became bijoutier du Roi and had among his clients Madame du Barry and, later, King Louis XVI of France.
