French Portrait Cherub Pill Snuff Box 235 Yr Old Picture(s) and Description:

Click to View Image Album Hi. Boring history follows; you may skip to DESCRIPTION. When she passed away in 1997 everything had to be appraised; she had no will. Most of her things were porcelain; so I got the #1 Ranked Certified Antique Appraiser in Maryland; who specialises in antique porcelain to appraise the estate.

He helped me out; he appraised everything for "fair market" value instead of full value.

"Fair market" value is approx. 60% of the full value; a value you would have appraised for insurance purposes in case of fire, theft; other loss.

This was appraised for $725, the full value would have been $1,200.

Luckily he was able to identify the mark; I NEVER would have.

Rue de la Roquette, Paris France circa 1774, marked in blue under glaze.

The person was Not just a painter but a true artist.

Absolutely superior artwork; rivaling Wagner, Lycett, Challinor, Walters Leroy or anyone else. The box is in excellent condition, no chips cracks or repairs.

No nicks no loss of paint (except for a random pinpoint spot. Not pinhead, but pinpoint sized) Hinged, most likely brass.

Shipping: I will pay the shipping/handling/insurance.

PS This is one of the finest pieces of porcelain money can buy, a great investment and a family heirloom to pass down to your children through the ages.

This will be a great addition to any Limoges, Sevres or any fine porcelain collection.

I accept Paypal. Insurance is required on all breakable items. International bids accepted only if I am contacted before bidding. Save on shipping with multiple purchases! Good Luck! Thanks for bidding!
