Lodderein box - .835 silver

These tiny boxes would be filled with a little sponge, perfumed with perfume that was known as 'l'eau du rheine' or queenswater. In Dutch, this French term was muddled into the phonetic 'loderein' so they are also known as 'loderein boxes'. This particular example has a rectangular shape with rounded corners and is decorated with several decorative borders. The lid is decorated with a filigree pattern and an oval shield. Hallmarked with a Dutch hallmark for 835/1000 silver and 'Z' for 1859. It carries the maker's mark for Ate de Groot Boersma, a silversmith who operated in Sneek.
