French enamel box

Hello, I would like help identifying this French box. I know it was made after 1878, as it has the tête de Mercure 1, so it is 950 silver, but I have not been able to identify the silversmith. The silversmith’s hallmark looks like a glass and is very difficult to capture on camera.

Internally there is a hallmark that I have seen in other items, I believe it refers to the region, but it is difficult to even name it, it looks like a plant.


Take pictures so that you are happy with the result. This will make it easier for us to search and solve the puzzles.
Use macro mode when taking photos of both signatures. Make sure the photos are sharp.

This hallmark is on the inside of the lid side, a place that is difficult to see, this was the best I could get.

Pretty guilloche box :blush:

Considering only half the signature is visible, these are the only names that come to mind.

This is the same signature rotated 180 degrees to show the similarity to Paul Guillon’s signature.

Thanks for the help. French items are by far the hardest to identify the manufacturer of.
