BY GABRIEL-RAOUL MOREL (FL. 1797-1832), MARKED, PARIS, CIRCA 1830, WITH THE PARISIAN THIRD STANDARD MARK AND GUARANTEE MARK FOR GOLD 1819-1838 AND THE PARISIAN POST-REVOLUTIONARY UNOFFICIAL STANDARD MARK FOR 18 CARAT GOLD, THE MICROMOSAIC PLAQUE, ROME, CIRCA 1830

The Gilbert Collection, London, contains six gold boxes by Gabriel-Raoul Morel (illustrated in Truman, op. cit., no. 12, and in C. Truman, The Gilbert Collection of Gold Boxes, Los Angeles, 1991, nos. 40, 44, 45, 46 and 47). Together with Vachette and Fossin, Gabriel-Raoul Morel, who struck his mark as early as 1797, may be considered as one of the most important French gold boxes makers of the first half of the 19th Century.
