What a beauty! I'm thinking English, around 1840, but that's only a feeling...
Welcome to CW :-)
Are there any hallmarks ?? Normally found inside around where the lid closes ??
Stunning case!
It's a beautiful 19th century piece! Take a good look at the house, the brick wall and the pair of trees beyond it; that could possibly help identify the country. If there are any hallmark, they would probably be on the metal parts, sometimes they are really small. On a side note, my dog also howls in exactly the same way every time someone plays a recorder /flute :D
Hello,thanks for the post,i have taken a really close look and can find no hallmarks,is it possible that these pieces never did have marks?thank you again for the post and look forward to reading anymore information anyone may like to share.Paul
