Auction: FINE ART & ANTIQUES, 14th Feb, 2024
We are delighted to present our February sale, featuring an array of distinguished collections.
At the forefront of the auction stands lot 565—an extraordinary Louis XV parcel-enamelled gold snuff box crafted by Claude Lisonnet (fl.1736-1761), adorned with exquisite en basse-taille decoration.
Among the treasures is lot 580, arguably the rarest item in the sale—a captivating pearl and diamond quarter-repeating ring watch bearing the signature of Ge. Achard et Fils, dating to circa 1800.
We invite you to explore the catalogue at your leisure and encourage you to reach out with any enquiries you may have. We look forward to welcoming you at the preview.
