Item Details

Description

Tin plate, polychrome hand painting on black lacquer
Brunswick, Germany, 2nd quarter of the 19th century
Stobwasser Factory (1740-1863) – manufacturer for lacquer goods
On the inside of the base with stamped signature ‘Stobwasser‘sche / Fabrik / in / Braunschweig’
Titled on the inside of the lid with ‘Le fumeur. (Boilly)’
Painting after Louis-Léopold Boilly (1761-1845)
Dimensions: 2.7 x 12.5 x 9 cm
Good condition
Provenance: German private collection
Stobwasser snuff boxes are sought-after collectibles due to their exceptional miniature painting; the present box is particularly appealing due to a finely painted portrait after Louis-Léopold Boilly (1761-1845)

This fine lidded rectangular box titled ‘Le fumeur. (Boilly)’ was made by the renowned company Stobwasser in the 19th century. The lid shows a fine oil lacquer painting of a gentleman stuffing his pipe. The portrait is rendered after a work by the French artist Louis-Léopold Boilly (1761-1845). Stobwasser’s own painting school guaranteed small scale painted scenes of exceptional quality. This is apparent in the masterful depiction of the wrinkles in the face.

The snuff box is in good condition with some signs of age. The surface of the lid shows some signs of craquelure and a tiny dent. The inside shows wear. On the inside of the base with stamped signature ‘Stobwasser‘sche / Fabrik / in / Braunschweig’ and titled on the inside of the lid with ‘Le fumeur. (Boilly)’. The dimensions are 2.7 x 12.5 x 9 cm (height x length x width).

Stobwasser Factory (1740-1863)

The manufactory Stobwasser was established in 1740 by Georg Siegmund Eustachius Stobwasser. Georg Stobwasser started trading haberdashery; the trading of lacquered goods was introduced by his son Johann Heinrich Stobwasser in 1757. In the 1760s the Bayreuth margrave Friedrich III commissioned a large number of lacquered boxes as well as drinking vessels and cups. In 1762 the entire family Stobwasser moved to Brunswick on the wish of the Duke Carl I., who promised them some money for production, citizenship as well as free accommodation. After having a few difficulties, business soon picked up and the repertoire of lacquered goods extended. Shell pouches, drinking vessels, snuff boxes and even furniture was part of their range. In 1768 Stobwasser was commissioned to lacquer state carriage of Friedrich the Great. Thereon the company gained the sole privilege of calling their goods “Brunswick lacquer ware”.

The products were laboriously crafted from papier mâché, wood and rolled tin plate and iron sheet. To guarantee the high quality of the décor Stobwasser opened its own painting school in 1780 run by the renowned Brunswick artist Pascha Johann Friedrich Weitsch (1723-1803).
