Hello my friends. I bought this box. I know it’s Austro-Hungarian, 1872-1922, but I can’t identify the silversmith. Could you help me, please? Also, can you suggest what it was used for? I’ve never seen a box with openings before.

A Decorative Box for Personal Keepsakes
This Silver and Guilloche Enamel Box was likely designed as a decorative container for personal keepsakes or small jewellery items. Its compact size and elegant design make it an ideal piece for storing sentimental items in a stylish manner. Its aesthetic appeal would have made it a cherished object, perhaps displayed on a dressing table or inside a boudoir, offering both functionality and a touch of refined beauty to its owner’s personal space.
