I have a box that looks like it could be Dutch, however the marks indicate it may be French. One mark is of an ant. The other appears to be the French maker's mark.

Here is the ant mark:

Anybody recognize this mark?

Looks like it could be a AH or AR or AK? With some sort of bird inbetween?

Hi welcome to the forum, for the "ant", the weevil mark see:

French import mark for silver called the Weevil.

Please show us an image of the complete object, Dutch?
Will check the maker's mark, are there no other marks for Dutch (hall)marks see:
