About the Item

Box made of wood veneered in ebony, the top contains a malachite plaque with brass border with central coat of arms, malachite paved feet. The plaque in the center is embossed and gilded sheet metal. The heraldry depicts a curtain surmounted by a crown in which two rampant, bi-caudal, crowned lions, facing the viewer, hold the coat of arms in which a similar lion holds a two-handed sword; below is a chain with honorifics such as the iron crown. This is the coat of arms of Prince Willem Frederik of the Netherlands and later used with minor variations also for the sovereign state of the Netherlands, in effect since 1815 and with this connotation until 1907. The only difference is the absence of the cartouche saying "Je maintendrai." The object, as evidenced by the construction of the case and the already galvanized gilding, was made in the late 19th c., although the malachite plate of the top, glued on a 4 mm. brass backing, is recovered from an older object as evidenced by marks of other holes concealed by the present coat of arms.
