All in fine condition with just some minor losses to the black infill .

Good early 18th century blued steel beetle and poker hands.

INNER CASE : 22ct gold, with maker’s mark IP.
In good condition but with some light bruises and slight compression around the band. The bow is a slightly later replacement in gilded brass.

The hinge is fine and the bezel snaps shut nicely. The high dome crystal is also fine.

The back of the case is nicely engraved with a later dedication :

“Johanna Lups, geb. van (born in) Arnhem, 1768”

OUTER CASE : A wonderful gold repousse pair case, decorated with a classical scene showing Diogenes and Alexander the Great.

In very good condition, with just some light wear to the high points, mainly to the head of Diogenes.
The catch, catch button and hinge are fine and the bezel snaps shut correctly.
The small stud or thumb piece on the bezel next to the catch is missing, leaving a small pin hole.

Peter Garon worked in London from 1687 until bankrupt in 1709.
