BY JEAN-BAPTISTE-SÉBASTIEN DE SAINT-JULIEN (FL. 1761-1781), MARKED, PARIS, 1768/1769, WITH THE CHARGE AND DECHARGE MARKS OF JEAN-JACQUES PREVOST 1762-1768

Jean-Baptiste-Sébastien de Saint-Julien became a master in 1761 when he was living at pont au Change and was sponsored by Arnoult de St Julien. Connoisseurs during the Louis XV period would have called this type of box a journée, describing a box just large enough to contain snuff for a single day.
