When people used to go to a ball, it was common for the woman to receive a small book of flowers from her companion. For the sake of convenience, these flowers were placed in a holder that had a pin for securing the flowers and a chain with a ring that was put on the finger while dancing. Such a pin and chain with ring are missing in this case. Giving flowers was not only a nice gesture, but the pleasant scent of the bouquets had to drive the stuffy air out of the busy and warm room during the party., anonymous, Netherlands (possibly), c. 1820 - c. 1830, geheel, kralen, grinding, l cm l 7 cm l 5 cm l cm d cm
