About the Item

If you are looking for a truly beautiful box for yourself or maybe as a gift for that special someone in your life then this rare and all handcrafted gem could be perfect. An exceptional late 19th-century box, masterfully crafted from richly polished hardwood and mounted with finely worked solid silver. The lid is adorned with beautifully chased floral corner panels and a central oval cartouche framed by intricate repoussé foliage, a testament to the skill and artistry of its maker. The silverwork displays exquisite Victorian detail, while the deep lustre of the hardwood provides a striking contrast that enhances the box’s sculptural presence. Inside on top, a luxurious deep blue velvet lining remains in remarkably good condition, inviting use as a jewelry or correspondence box. This piece embodies the refined aesthetic of the late Victorian period, a graceful dialogue between Dutch elegance and Indian craftsmanship. With its perfect proportions, subtle patina, and tactile quality, it stands as both a functional object and a work of art. A rare and distinguished example of colonial-era craftsmanship, certain to appeal to collectors of fine silver and decorative antiques. Mind you, our fair price for this rare size 'object of virtue' includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 5 business days.
