Gold box with cut sides

This box, with its geometric decoration and its carefully studied play with light, belongs to Neoclassicism. Late 18th century - Early 19th century.

Jacques-Alexandre Guillemot first became master in 1783 sponsored by Jean-Antoine Robiquet, entering a mark on 18 July from the pont au Change where he remained until 1787 when he moved to the rue de la Barillerie until 1793. He entered a post-revolutionary mark for bijouterie: le tout around 1800 and is recorded in various almanacs at 42 quai des Orfèvres until around 1810.
