<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 50634, member: 37"]My initial thought on the strongbox was that it is 18th century but hedged the date a bit later since I couldn't see any details. Looking at the pics on the other site, I see the interior details and still think it of a later date than indicated on the top. Here is a very similar box dated to 1700 so very early 18th century. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.hansord.com/art-and-antiques/d/german-painted-strong-box/148384" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.hansord.com/art-and-antiques/d/german-painted-strong-box/148384" rel="nofollow">http://www.hansord.com/art-and-antiques/d/german-painted-strong-box/148384</a></p><p><br /></p><p>..... and another dated to mid 17th century.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cotswolds-antiques-art.com/antiques/d/a-small-mid-17th-century-painted-strongbox/80197" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cotswolds-antiques-art.com/antiques/d/a-small-mid-17th-century-painted-strongbox/80197" rel="nofollow">http://www.cotswolds-antiques-art.com/antiques/d/a-small-mid-17th-century-painted-strongbox/80197</a></p><p><br /></p><p>..... and, yet, another from Christie's dating to late 17th century.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/furniture-lighting/a-german-iron-strong-box-late-17th-5490396-details.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/furniture-lighting/a-german-iron-strong-box-late-17th-5490396-details.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/furniture-lighting/a-german-iron-strong-box-late-17th-5490396-details.aspx</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This site indicates that the decorated cover for the mechanism is a 17th century innovation.......</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.historicallocks.com/en/site/hl/Articles/20-Money-chests/Sixteenth-and-seventeenth-century-money-chests-and-cash-boxes/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.historicallocks.com/en/site/hl/Articles/20-Money-chests/Sixteenth-and-seventeenth-century-money-chests-and-cash-boxes/" rel="nofollow">http://www.historicallocks.com/en/site/hl/Articles/20-Money-chests/Sixteenth-and-seventeenth-century-money-chests-and-cash-boxes/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
