?A FRENCH JEWELLED TORTOISESHELL PORTRAIT BOX LID, PARIS, CIRCA 1830 oblong, inset with an portrait miniature of Napoleon I, Emperor of the French, French School, circa 1815, painted wearing the uniform of the Chasseurs-à-cheval with red collar and watered silk sash, the cross and the 'Grand Aigle' of the Legion d'honneur and the iron Crown of Lombardy, on ivory, 5cm oval, in a gold stiff leaf mount, the tortoiseshell with four collet set white stones surrounded by a tracery of cushion shaped, circular and rose-cut diamonds, gold thumbpiece 9cm long This representation of the Emperor is a variation of a version evolved by the miniaturist Jean-Baptiste-Jacques Augustin and often used by him as well as Jean-Baptiste Isabey and other contemporaries. For versions by Augustin and Isabey see the Wallace Collection, M8/M9 and M209. Provenance: The Tronson du Coudray family by descent until 2015. Originally prominent merchants in Rheims, it is ironic perhaps that the best known family member, the lawyer Guillaume Alexandre Tronson du Coudray (1750-1798) famously pleaded for Marie-Antoinette and was condemned to the 'seche guillotine' following Bonaparte's coup d'état in 1798; in other words he was deported to French Guyana where he died within the year.Descriptions in both printed and on-line catalogue formats do not include condition reports and all lots are sold as viewed.
