Featured Antique Jewlery Box

I picked this up several years ago and still can’t figure out where it came from? It’s about 4 ½ inches wind, rather heavy, maybe weighted inside. Looks to be very high quality workmanship. The only marking I can find is a lion on the bottom. Can anyone provide any information on its age and origin.

Thanks!

 

It’s a lion over an E and I’ve seen it. I’ll remember who in a minute.

That's it! I had a smoking set.

 

Good to see you back.

 

Thanks!
