Yes, you're right. It's a Chinese silver box. I saw a lot of repeated marks, don't know why so much were used, but at least I can explain what them means:
1) 蓉(Rong) - it's the shortened form of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province in China.
2) 姚泉興(Yaoquanxing) - an important silver store in Chengdu (possibly 19c~194x).
3) 票銀 - means pure silver/sterling silver as well. It was mainly used in southwest provinces of China, Chengdu is just one of them.
