<p>[QUOTE="CuriousCat, post: 258692, member: 5163"]Would love to see some more pics, this is something I truly love, a mystery. I joined this site to find out info on some old stuff, but may have yet not posted enough to start a thread, however it seems I can comment now. A picture of underneath and some close-ups of the joinery would be especially helpful for those who date furniture, many clues in there. size would be nice, my guess is 20x20x14, a small cabinet thing. The lock is interesting which makes me think it was a thing used to display something of high value or regard. In Victorian times it was not unusual for people of means, to have 'special objects' placed in special places in their own customized show cases, using the best of local cabinet/furniture craftsmen to do it. Finding the time/date and maker is entirely another matter far beyond my expertise, but this is my type of fun, hope you find out what it is and rem to tell the forum here. Best regards, CC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
