Stranges and unusual wooden silver box lined with red velvet.

Strange and unusual wooden silver box lined with red velvet interior. I don’t know much about it, it was a gift many years ago. Wouldn’t be surprised if it lived in a 19th century apothecary for a while and collected some “inhabitants” if you know what I mean. So don’t come crying to me if it opens up a gateway to another dimension in your living room. Purchased at your own risk! It’s in excellent condition. See pictures for measurements.
