Antique Miniature Cherub Painting on Snuff Box

This exceptional antique snuff box (circa 1800) is distinguished by a finely executed miniature painting attributed to Jean-Baptiste Isabey (1767–1855), one of France’s most celebrated painters and miniaturists. Isabey was renowned for his exquisitely detailed portraits and court scenes, and his reputation as a favored artist of Napoleon Bonaparte led to prestigious commissions—including the design of the emperor’s coronation ceremony and portraits of Napoleon and his family.

The box itself is crafted in black lacquer, its surface serving as an elegant backdrop to the luminous artistry of the miniature. Measuring 4 inches in diameter by 1 inch tall, it is substantial in size while maintaining the refined proportions typical of early 19th-century personal objets d’art.

In very good condition, this snuff box embodies both the artistry of Isabey and the cultural grandeur of Napoleonic France, making it a rare and distinguished acquisition for the discerning collector.
