Our pair of antique jewelry display cases were crafted in Germany, circa 1890s, from mahogany with brass hardware, including one original key. They have six removeable trays with turned handles and old (possibly original) blue fabric surfaces. Lock carries the impressed mark of D. Laporte, the German firm founded by Dietrich La Porte in Vorde in 1860 that moved to Wuppertal-Barmen in 1885. The firm specialized in locking, hardware and fittings for furniture makers, and today is one of the oldest continually operating businesses of its kind in Europe. Cabinet maker is unknown.
