The curved body is chiseled all around with very fine volutes and leaf tendrils. The hinged lid is decorated with two guilloché rocaille reserves and closes securely. This enchanting gold box is wonderfully preserved and hallmarked on the base and lid with the master's mark and the Hanau city mark. Measuring 6 cm × 3.8 cm, this fine tobacco box was probably used for snuff; it weighs 48.5 grams. 14K/585 gold Size 6cm × 3.8cm, 2.5cm high Weight 48.5 g stamped 14K, maker's mark CMWS, city mark Hanau Condition very good, only minimal signs of wear commensurate with age CM Weishaupt & Söhne was founded in 1801 as a jewelry factory in Hanau and was located on Nürnberger Straße.
