Note:
- "By a misuse of language, it is mentioned that the sale of June 10 was "under the aegis of Viviane Jutheau" whereas it is a tribute to Viviane Jutheau. All the snuffboxes presented under n- 251 to 392 (with the exception of n-342, as indicated in the catalog) were acquired at sales organized by Me Jutheau. We have not been able to trace the provenance of lots 365, 392 and 336. All the snuffboxes come from the collection of a single Parisian connoisseur. "
Please ask for condition reports before the sale: they are not included in the listings.
