Hello Pat88
I came across your post today,very interesting for me,as I have just purchased this small box,that has some similarities ,The stones on you figure seem to have more variety ,my box is dated 1862 by Hermann Ratzersdorfer I am not sure if all my stones are original,the stones in your figure look great(great mixture of colours).I think these pieces are classed as historistmus style German for made in the old earlier styles.
I would think your piece would be quite rare. Also worn gilding as my box.
Regards Guido.



You can see other images (full box) on my earlier post ornate silver box.
