[QUOTE="Poisonivy, post: 2421926, member: 2417"]Hi, It looks late Victorian or Edwardian, probably a jewellery box because there isn't a strip in the lid for sewing tools. The veneer is missing from all around the outside (except the top) but you could rub it lightly with some fine wire wool and then give it several coats of a coloured varnish, let it dry and lightly sand between coats. As for the inside it would have been lined in the same fabric as the lid, If you don't have any antique fabrics you could try and match it up with some vintage fabric maybe look online. You can just put a layer of wadding in bottom, it doesn't have to be tufted as in the lid. Hope all that helps.[/QUOTE]
