Featured Old velvet jewelry? Box?

Found this at an antique store and thought it was interesting. Although, I am not sure what it held inside. Was it jewelry? At the top it looks like it held a bracelet but at the bottom it looks like flatware?? Any ideas? Definitely 1920s.

 

yup...........not jewelry..

 

I don't think that was a jewelry box. Those "fittings" look more like some larger item(s) were kept inside. Something the shape of the flattened space in the lid with a narrow part that was held between the 2 blocks by the metal "latch." The shelf could have had fitted bottles or jars that went into the 2 round and 1 oval holder. What happens with the shelf when you close the lid?

 

Hahaha! I just realized we must be neighbors, spartcom!

 

And btw, the 5 little holder(s) on the front (when opened) may have held various grooming tools.

What is written below the word Victorian and above the word box in the tag?

 

Maybe "Dresser" ???

 

That would make a lot of sense, given what I see.

 

fancy box....hummm....i didn't think of dresser...
I have those holders in my flatware box......but I can see where the mirror was held snugly under the lid !

 

I have had a number of the Victorian type flatware boxes with the satin inside. This is not one of them.

 

Yes...I agree with you !

 

We were typing at the same time.

 

Well then stop that....it's confusing !! ...

 

Dressing table set with manicure items. The oval space, for example, held a nail buffer. Someone has abstracte the probably guilloche engine turned silver niceties and sold them singly.

 

VERY nice dresser box Bakersgma !! Joy.

 

But it's not mine, Joy. The OP is spartcom.

 

OH, sorry Bakers .. I'm getting old and befuddled, I now feel totally stupid .. Joy.

 

No, no! Don't do that, Joy!

 

Do what Bakers? just apologizing for my mistake .. all is good, Joy.

 

She doesn't want you to do this> "I'm getting old and befuddled..."
Me either.
