From the jewellery box of Helene Cathrine Büchler of Linderud Manor, OsloThis was her wedding present when she married Mogens Larsen Monsen in 1762. It consists of a wooden box with silver boxes for hair pins, pomades etc, and a silver mirror. Inside two jewellery sets; one with rock crystals in Regènce style, the other with opalized glass in a lighter, floral Rococo style. In addition monogrammed rings, shoe buckles, a fan and various chains. The jewellery box remained in the family at Linderud for almost 250 years, until it was eventually bought by Kunstindustrimuseet/Nasjonalmuseet in Oslo in 1994. You can see more detailed photos of the whole set here: http://samling.nasjonalmuseet.no/no/object/OK-1994-0201 -- source link
