Vachette et Ouizille du Roi a Paris Snuff Box
Gold, with gouache miniatures. Engraved on the rim, Vachette et Ouizille Bijoutiers du Roi a Paris. Maker Adrien-Jean-Maximilien Vachette. Paris, c. 1795. New York. Inscribed inside the cover and bottom, Bhot et Baudoin Peint en 1770. None of the miniatures appears to be signed or dated. Bhot is unrecorded; Baudoin is perhaps Pierre-Antoine Baudoin (1723-69), the engraved date being a faulty recollection
