[QUOTE="Daniel Lucian, post: 80863, member: 1072"]Hi there This is a Victorian ladies dressing case veneered in Coromandel with brass edging and Bramah lock. It was manufactured by Samuel Fisher of the Strand. I would date it circa 1860's, but the silver hallmarks will give you an accurate date. I specialise in these pieces and at auction (in the UK), a piece like this might fetch £300-£450, depending on the condition of the glass work, existence of the accompanying vanity tools, and general condition of the exterior casing. I notice that the lid exhibits the forming of a structural crack in the Mahogany shell beneath. This again will affect its value.
