<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 9744788, member: 4654"]Unfortunately I'm trying to learn from other antique dealers descriptions of what they have that mine has so I can type in the right words to find similar boxes to mine (if I'm on the right track) Financially I'd be better off it being Nagina, what I'm trying to do is find a word or words that encompass that type of ware it is. "Guilloche" is the right word for the pattern on the top "lunette" is the right word for the arch but I'm yet to find how to describe the arch, columns, and plant inside as a term, so many of the old carved bible boxes have this sort of carving on them there must be a word for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
