Museale Louis XV-Gold-Perlmutter-Tabatiere. mit allegorischen Szenen von Thomas-Pierre Breton
Rechteckige Form "à cage" mit geflammter Goldmontierung. Die Wandung flächendeckend verziert mit äußerst feiner, szenischer, polychromer Landschaftsmalerei und Darstellungen von Schafen, Vögeln und Architekturelementen. Darüber feinste Perlmutter-Paneele unterschiedlichster Stärke schichtartig geschnitten. Nahezu transparente, hauchdünne Flächen mit zart grün-violett changierendem Lüster lassen die dahinter befindliche Malerei hervorscheinen und wechseln sich mit stärkeren, reliefplastisch herausgearbeiteten Perlmutterelementen in Form von C-Schwüngen, Muschelwerk, Blütengirlanden und antikisierten Säulen ab. Darin eingelegt korrespondierende Zierelemente sowie unterschiedliche allegorische Szenen mit Putti und Tieren aus Gold. Durch die exquisite und kunstvolle Schnitttechnik mit übereinander geschichtetem Perlmutter und Goldakzenten sowie dem transparent durchscheinenden Perlmutter vor feinster Malerei wird eine beeindruckende räumliche Tiefe evoziert. Gest., Meister Thomas-Pierre Breton, Beschaumarke von Louis Robin (1738-1744) und Jahresbuchstabe "C" unter Krone. Pariser Garantiemarke seit 1738. Gew. 153 g. H. 3,5 cm. 7,5 cm x 5,5 cm.
Provenienz: aus der über Generationen gewachsenen und bedeutenden Sammlung der Frankfurter Bankiersfamilie von Bethmann.

OA 10878) und im Victoria & Albert-Museum in London (Inv.-Nr.338-2008).
