455 pages illustrated throughout in colour. Hard cover. 30.5x25cms.  

The first of three projected volumes cataloging the snuffboxes and related items in the David and Mikhail Iakobachvili Collection. This volume studies 393 18th-century snuffboxes, each illustrated in actual size and discussed in full. The catalogue is organized firstly by material - mixed materials, gold, and gold with enamel - followed by the work of James Cox and his contemporaries, automaton boxes, boxes from Hanau, and the production of Frères Jordan. Essays discuss  the production of gold boxes in Paris, changing tastes in British presentation boxes, Russian gold boxes from Pauzié to Fabergé, and French diplomatic boxes.
