[QUOTE="Jarco Schoonbeek, post: 4509047, member: 77385"]Any Jewelry Thank you for so much info, it's amazing how much u know about this! I would like to reply on your comment: [I]"Datewise I would guess ca 1900, but I find it difficult to date because it is in such good order. Most boxes were used daily and show it.

I think it would be very possible. If you open the box and smell the inside. :meh: It's not a smell you want to smell every day. It smells like very old wood (stinky wood). The image and the painting is very good preserved, maybe this is one of the few bent wood boxes left that is in such good shape (just suggesting). I can't believe that someone painted this and that person should live in 1920 or 40's (It just can't be). 1880 or 1900 would be a good guess! Thank you!![/QUOTE]
