Vantine's - The Oriental Store - From 1866 to1921.
This is one of 2 boxes that my Grandmother kept her fiance's (my Grandfather) letters.
I took took some time researching where this very unique was purchased. I didn't see anything this style of box online. The logo/signature on the inside lid was hard to decipher, but I finally did it!
“Vantine’s, the most interesting store in the world – is a wondrous ever-changing exposition of antique and modern works of art from each nook and corner of Japan, China, Turkey, Persia, India and The Holy Land, rivalling in every way many of the greatest show places of the metropolis. Vantine's, a "veritable Mecca of objects of art and utility, centrally located on Fifth Avenue... The recognized headquarters in this country for the best that the Orient produces."
