[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9774627, member: 2844"]Nice box, Marote. The style is Biedermeier, which doesn't necessarily mean it is strictly Biedermeier period. I also find them as Dutch, and datewise between 1860 (Biedermeier) and 1900. The Dutch continued the Biedermeier style for some silver and decorative objects, so Dutch would make sense. And of course the Netherlands had a steady supply of tortoiseshell. It could also be one of those generic European things. Ah, a boomerang buyer.:pompous::joyful:[/QUOTE]
