An early 19th century German gold and enamel Royal presentation box Hanau, circa 1805, stamped '18K', the flange incuse stamped '1153' Rectangular form, with a foliate blue taille d'epargne enamel border surrounding the cypher and coronet of Charles XIII of Sweden (1748-1818) on a matted ground within lattice engine-turning, the underside with the same ground bordered by foliate chasing, length 8.5cm, weight total 127gms. Footnotes: Charles XIII (1748 – 5th February 1818), was King of Sweden from 1809 and King of Norway from 1814 to his death. He was the second son of King Adolf Frederick of Sweden and Louisa Ulrika of Prussia, sister of Frederick the Great. Though known as King Charles XIII in Sweden, he was actually the seventh Swedish king by that name, as Charles IX (reigned 1604–1611) had adopted this numeral after studying a fictitious history of Sweden. On the assassination of Gustav III in 1792, Charles acted as regent of Sweden till 1796 on behalf of his nephew, King Gustav IV, who was a minor when his father was shot in the Stockholm opera. Gustav III designated him regent in his will, later adding a restriction of a government consisting of the supporters of Gustav III. After the death of the monarch, however, Charles successfully contested the will and was given unlimited power as sole regent. On 13 March 1809, those who had dethroned Gustav IV, appointed Charles regent, and he was finally elected king by the Riksdag of the Estates. By the time he became king, he was 60 years old and prematurely decrepit. In November 1809, he had a heart attack and was not able to participate in government. A new constitution also made his involvement in politics difficult. A planned attempt to enlarge the royal power in 1809–10 was not put into effect because of his indecisiveness and health condition.
