    Hoping some one can tell me something about this little box with the engraved lid.

    I've found out the painting it's made from is called Tavern Scene - Man holding a glass and an old woman lighting a pipe.

    It's signed D'apres Teniers on the bottom left and I can't make out the words on the right.

    It looks old, but I'm not sure.

    Anyone know anything about it?

      Above the scene is written: Au Cabaret.
      It has been cleaned of the original silver plated finish.

      The manufacturers on the bottom right read: FERRE & BOTTINI . GR

      GR for "Graveurs" engravers, I suppose.

      There's another here:
