Thank you I’ll try again

 

Thank you for your help, looks like it worked this time

 

I would think that was a little souvenir from Florence, Italy. Typically they date to the start of mass tourism -- 1960s -- or later. Here's something similar (with a painting by Raphael) and if you do an internet search for "Florentine Gilt Box Madonna Child" others will appear.

Agreed. I bought similar ones in Italy in the sixties.

 

Yep. Might be a bit earlier but not by a lot.

 

Perhaps some one can identify the image. I can't.

Got it. 'Madonna and Child' by Carlo Dolci. c.1675. It will surprise no one that the original is in the Pitti.

I have a little box like this too! My ex and I had a second hand store from 1976-1979 and it came in with a box lot and I liked little boxes.
