His dates of birth and death are unknown but he was probably active in the second quarter of the 18th century. A box in the Victoria and Albert Museum is decorated with portrait profiles of Louis Ferdinand, Dauphin of France (1729-1765) and his second wife, Marie Josephe de Saxe (1731-1767) who did not marry until 1747. His speciality was the production of sets of counter boxes for use in card games, which were coloured to indicate the suits in a pack of cards: red (or dark pink) for spades, green for diamonds, yellow for clubs and white for hearts. They usually contained counters of three shapes: long and narrow, elongated octagonal, and round. The Victoria & Albert Museum has a set of four boxes retaining all three shapes of counter (W.21A/1-1985), but the round ones are missing from all four of the Fitzwilliam's set (M.14 & A-R-1938, M.15 & A-Z-1938 and M.16 & A-Y-1938).They may have been used for reversis, an Italian card game which became popular elsewhere in western Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries.The object of the game was to avoid taking tricks, or exceptionally to take all, and involved the use of counters. The Cupid emblem on the top of the lid was probably copied from pl.XIII, emblem no. 3 in Nicolas Verrien's 'Recueil d’emblêmes, devises, medailles, et figures hieroglyphiques . . .', Paris (Jean Jombert), 1696 or an edition published by Claude Jombert in 1724. The motto, 'Après les peines, les plaisirs' is printed on the page following the plate.The first edition had been published in 1685 with the title 'Livre curieux et utile pour les Scavans et Artistes . . .' (Bibliothèque nationale de France, 31565159). The style of the scrollwork is closer to the Regence style (1714-23) than to the full-blown Rococo of the mid century, and this is probably why the Fitzwilliam's and similar boxes were previously dated to the early 18th century. This box is constructed differently to the three others in the set, in that the top of the lid is set into a frame rather than being carved from one piece of ivory. reference term-121036 adlib-term-121036 d94c6987-b658-37d7-a4c1-f5da804d2e40 18th Century, second quarter reference term-15538 adlib-term-15538 e4001da7-ed48-3271-a6fb-c7f54095a1ad Louis XV reference term-106578 adlib-term-106578 9178abc7-73c4-3424-ba01-62f60a169475 literal France France country literal Normandy Normandy region Rouen reference term-40149 adlib-term-40149 89c91a11-c946-3355-a7f0-e9d757f7a1d5 ivory Height cm 2.2 Length cm 8.7 Width cm 6.4 reference media-146407 adlib-media-146407 7edfbc3f-5de5-3a3a-8594-9676c2827725 jpeg aa/aa24/M_17_1938_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 633 width pixels 760 1616262911392 1 image jpeg aa/aa24/mid_M_17_1938_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 416 width pixels 499 1616262911392 1 image jpeg aa/aa24/M_17_1938_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 633 width pixels 760 1616262911392 1 image jpeg aa/aa24/preview_M_17_1938_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 208 width pixels 250 1616262911392 1 image 0 media image reference media-146408 adlib-media-146408 898b2172-51cf-306c-b684-dc522098ca48 jpeg aa/aa24/M_17_1938_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 693 width pixels 760 1616264940053 1 image jpeg aa/aa24/mid_M_17_1938_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 456 width pixels 500 1616264940053 1 image jpeg aa/aa24/M_17_1938_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 693 width pixels 760 1616264940053 1 image jpeg aa/aa24/preview_M_17_1938_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 228 width pixels 250 1616264940053 1 image 1 media image reference media-146409 adlib-media-146409 cca28963-9138-3c08-af23-060c06feedc2 jpeg aa/aa24/M_17_1938_20_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 738 width pixels 760 1616278115250 1 image jpeg aa/aa24/mid_M_17_1938_20_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 486 width pixels 500 1616278115250 1 image jpeg aa/aa24/M_17_1938_20_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 738 width pixels 760 1616278115250 1 image jpeg aa/aa24/preview_M_17_1938_20_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 243 width pixels 250 1616278115250 1 image 2 media image reference media-146410 adlib-media-146410 b73f50c0-4aca-3651-a645-f2b0dc2019c2 jpeg aa/aa24/M_17_1938_20_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 542 width pixels 760 1616274114093 1 image jpeg aa/aa24/mid_M_17_1938_20_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 357 width pixels 500 1616274114093 1 image jpeg aa/aa24/M_17_1938_20_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 542 width pixels 760 1616274114093 1 image jpeg aa/aa24/preview_M_17_1938_20_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 178 width pixels 250 1616274114093 1 image 3 media image reference term-106246 adlib-term-106246 3c8d7753-a7af-38fc-96e0-f16e7d46d3d0 box counter box gaming token box boite à jettons history note Sydney Ernest Kennedy (1855-1933); Christie, Manson & Woods, 18-22 March, 1918, Catalogue of the Important collection of objects of art, antiquities, armour and arms, formed by S.E.
