Eastern European Box - Identification request
Posted: Sat Jul 06, 2024 3:43 am
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
