Snuffbox, Germany, ca. 1760-70 This box, of cloudy quartz, is encrusted with flowers and insects in various coloured hardstones. It is mounted in gold. The technique of raised stonework such as this is frequently associated with the court of Frederick the Great in Berlin, and it is likely that this box was made there. Chased gold, quartz and hardstones

Mikhail Perkhin (1860-1903) - Stamp box
This Fabergé stamp box in nephrite mounted with gold, diamonds and rubies is a good example of a beautifully designed yet practical object, which shows the quality of workmanship and attention to detail which Fabergé paid to all the objects made by his firm, however insignificant and whatever their cost. The top is fitted with two lids which meet diagonally. Inside, the three compartments have sloping bases to enable stamps to be removed easily. Mark of Michael Perchin, 1903.
