    I found this at the thrift store today. It was next to a beautiful burl wood Cuesta-Rey humidor I also bought, so my first thought was maybe a cigarette or cigar case for a coffee table?

    I put the name in google but nothing came up so maybe I was spelling it wrong?

    Thanks

    The first letter of word is either a F, a T or maybe a C(?) - whole word is (change 1st l etter to suit: Frioni

    The 2nd word Petrarchae is from fern family according to google/Wikipedia ?

    Would have loved to find that in it - looks like a beautiful collection of poems - including the artwork!
