[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9740912, member: 2844"]My antique Dutch boxes are nearly all Frisian, from ca 1750 to late 19th century. The Amsterdam School one is Frisian chipwork. It dates from the 1910s, which would be a little too late for my Frisian collection, but being Amsterdam School style makes up for that. I look for Frisian antiques that I can afford, often because other people miss them because they aren't sold as Frisian. The Art Deco box is the odd one out, it was my mother's jewellery box. But it is also hand made/carved, so it is allowed to stay. The French box is somewhere on the forum. It is one of those studded boxes with leather details. It was too beautiful and nicely priced to pass. It came from a seller in Friesland, coincidentally. My other boxes are all East Asian, and a lot of them. I have a thing for boxes, can you tell?:playful:[/QUOTE]
