The Louvre has acquired the famous "Choiseul snuffbox" from the Rothschild family for the unprecedented sum of €3.9 M, €1,200,000 of which has been raised by a major public appeal.
The tiny gold and crystal box, the work of the goldsmith Louis Roucel, is set with miniature paintings by Louis-Nicolas Van Blarenberghe showing the interior of the Hôtel Choiseul in Paris.
