Victorian era.

Found at the following site: (scroll down to find your lid... #40!)http://www.onlinebbr.com/auctions/results/pdf_results/2006-10-08/innards.pdf

" 40. LORIMER & CO. 4 ins diam. London & New York, Areca Nut
Tooth Paste, the very large size, Mosque pictorial, palm trees etc.
A truly stunning large size (massive!) and highly detailed pictorial -
the photo really does not do this impressive lid justice. NR £200-300+. "

I guess most lids are only 2.5 inches, yours being a massive 4 inches?

And more pot lid information from this site... very interesting: http://www.thebottledump.co.uk/potlids/potlids.htm

Nice find. The brand and product lids on eBay, but not exactly like yours, claim 1890 date. Seems they may have come from England.

They are referred to as pot lids.Highly decorative and sought after by collectors.Below is a picture of one of mine.
