<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SYNCHRONCITY, post: 2133881, member: 6283&quot;]Hey everyone.</p><p>How are you all doing? I hope everyone is doing well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw an antique box on ebay and really liked it. I bought it and am waiting for it to arrive. I know absolutely next to nothing about vintage or antique wooden boxes. What I liked about it was the little knob on the front and the pretty little clover-like flowers with vines on the top. It does have a crack in the top, but I will live with it even though I am not thrilled about it. Is that marquetry on the top? I don&#039;t know if this is the correct term for the designs on the top.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is it looks like it might be English or Irish. I could be completely wrong so please correct me. Does anybody know what kind of box it is? Is it a jewelry box of some sort? It measures approximately 2.5” tall by 3.5” in depth and 5.5” wide according to the seller. It is missing it&#039;s key, but I will carve my own out with my dremel. I have a baggy filled with old keys and in the past I have been able to mess around with my dremel to get them to fit in some old box locks and work.</p><p><br /></p><p>My questions are:</p><p><br /></p><p>How old is it?</p><p>What country of origin?</p><p>What kind of design is it?</p><p>Is it a jewelry box? Trinket Box?</p><p>What kind of wood is it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any other interesting info would be greatly appreciated...</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the seller&#039;s pictures. They are not very good, but they are all I have until it arrives. Thanks in advance for your information.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]251514[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251515[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251516[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251517[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]251518[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251519[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
