The design and execution of this box, firmly attributable to Geneva on account of the identified maker’s mark, allows the following two boxes conceived in a similar style but struck with unidentified makers’ marks to be attributed to the same city.
The bright-cut engraving on the base has been linked to Charles Wielandy (1748–1837), a London-born engraver and medallist who worked in Geneva and was appointed engraver at the city’s mint in 1794. Such bright-cut engraving was also used in Geneva as a ground that was then enamelled.
