Antique Questions Forum / Need help identifying an Ivory Jewelry Box

« on: February 28, 2012, 08:36:56 am »

I recently came across this jewelry box that has hand carved monogramming and a stamp on the bottom that says Ivory French Design.  There is another part of the stamp on the bottom between the Ivory and French Design that cannot be read. 

There are no seam marks and the grains on the material match the grains for Ivory.  You can also see the scrimshaw on the inner edges where it was cut. 

The box measures 6'' long by 3.75'' wide.  It's approximately 2'' tall.   

Can anyone help put a date to this item and an approximate value?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
