Eastern European Box - Identification request

[SilverK]

Hello to the forum,

I have this rather nice box with a sunburst design which I think is possibly from the German/Eastern European area. The original owner, one Carl Schenck, lived in the first half of the 19th century, having been born in Burgstadt and died in Riga. I can't identify the city mark, which has some similarity with Riga's, but doesn't appear to be the same (though the only one I've seen is on-line for a later period). Nor, therefore, can I identify the maker, A.W.

Hopefully, someone on the forum can help me, once again.

Best regards,

Silverk

Hi SilverK,

Check out Flensburg, AW for Andreas Wohlberg, active (1831 - 1846)

Hi Oel,

Well, so it is! I've misplaced my Tardy, so it may well be in there, but I would never have found it on-line. Thanks very much indeed.

Best regards,

Silverk.
