you can see these in all most every shop in Luxor Egypt Ivo's one not Roy's... they come from India the canes might come from china but i think they make there own... I'd say modern within the last 10yrs and come in different shapes and sizes

Have you considerd the thought that your box is a marriage of an older piece of glass to a newer metal work box?

Hi Alpha

No this had not occured to me. I have 8 Franchini items including two other unmounted glass plaques, one seal and five bottles, three of which have silver lids with the same design filigree work as my box.

I believe they are all genuine and dated correctly. I have collected them from eight different sources over the last twenty years.

If you would like further info on the items I would be pleased to help.

I also have thirty or so Venetian bottles with faces from the 1880 period.

A Typical example of the filigree lids.
