He painted Harz landscapes

An interesting devotional

The goldsmith's mark is also there but so tiny I can't make it out in order to try to get identification

and is done on heavy paper

Antique French Playing Cards Box, Cut Steel Pique on Burled Wood, c.1810-30 Vienna enamel He painted Harz landscapesSuperbly crafted French gaming box, early 1800s and in fine condition for age. The superb burled wood box has an interior of lemon wood, a fitting that lifts out as you see, and 2 compartments for playing cards. Ecarte worked in fine pique of cut steel, typical of Palais Royal boxes dating earliest 1800s (see our final image, shown with same period Palais Royal sewing box from same estate). Measurements are noted on our photos. Very good to excellent
