<p>[QUOTE=&quot;R. Antonis, post: 3381896, member: 3943&quot;]Hi, thank you very much for taking the time to explain this in detail. Although my pictures are good, it doesn&#039;t really show the state of the tortoise shell, which in my opinion is quite battered. The brass and the bottles are in perfect condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it would be best to leave it, like you said. And maybe contact a professional restorer in the future. The f&#039;t it would have figured out myself anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>But.. in the meantime I have found 2 very interesting things:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Another scent bottle box, with the exact same inscription.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; On picture #9 &amp; #10 is best to see.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; See: <a href="https://www.proantic.com/en/display.php?mode=obj&amp;id=690788" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.proantic.com/en/display.php?mode=obj&amp;id=690788" rel="nofollow">https://www.proantic.com/en/display.php?mode=obj&amp;id=690788</a></p><p><br /></p><p>2) I found a link to some kind of maker&#039;s and distributioners list, in this case, for French boxes. And there I found an interesting name. I&#039;m not sure which conclusion (if any) I can draw from it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;d click on the link. And once you&#039;re on the website, use the search function (CTRL + F). If you type in &quot;Palais Royal&quot;, there are 6 &quot;hits&quot;. If you look at the second it says: </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Dujat (Louis Dujat) – Maison Smal L. Dujat: Palais Royal, Galerie Montpensier 7 &amp; 8, Paris.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the link:</p><p><a href="http://antiqueboxes.org/index-of-french-makers-and-retailers/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://antiqueboxes.org/index-of-french-makers-and-retailers/" rel="nofollow">http://antiqueboxes.org/index-of-french-makers-and-retailers/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
