In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
V. The carving is very well executed in relief and is similar to that of Black Forest pieces. The box has two hinged lids that open to divided compartments. Both compartments have locks so would have locked shut originally but we do not have the keys. The box also has a brass carrying handle on the top.
It is in good solid order with no major damages. It has been well used and developed a beautiful rich patina through years of use. There are some general signs of age and use, some small knocks and minor losses but nothing detrimental.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
