Alexander Fromery manufactory, mid-18th C.

The Fromery manufactory's coloured enamel boxes were among the the most famous products to be made in Berlin, and were distributed throughout Europe. The trained goldsmith Pierre Fromery (1679 - 1738) specialised in the production of enamelled copper with gold plating. He founded a large distribution company for fancy goods (brushes, tobacco boxes, flasks), which was taken over by his son Alexander after his death.
