Jewelry Box needs help
What is the best way to keep the lid on this jewelry box upright? I've got it propped up from behind with a jar for the photo. Lid Flopping over completely is not a good look. Suggestions are needed and welcome.

i looked around the internet and all the ones i saw had no chain or anything. maybe there using hinges that limit how far back they will open ?
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Yep the chain support is the easiest solution. Other than that you'd probably have to replace the hinges. Very nice box.
Nice looking box.
Chain,/stay, replace hinges, or a lip/stop block on the back.
The chain or stay is probably the simplest retrofit at this point.

I like quadrant hinges. They make some that are spring and lock open. Install is a bit more involved than just hinges, but there are jigs.

I ordered the chain from Rockler, thanks guys. Next time I will try the 90 degree hinges

Wondering out loud if you could make some kind of stop blocks (mentioned above) like so
Mr bentylj. Good idea I will try it out next time. Got the chain on the way for this one.

It’s a wonderful box and has a lot of detail with those great drawers.
Horton Brasses have stop hinges for small boxes for your next project.
