Heavy Brass Casket Form Jewelry Box
About: 19th Century handmade hinged brass jewelry box likely from Hyderabad, India. Interesting form and trim profiles run the circumference of the box perhaps influenced by British Colonialism in design. This piece has a rough, handmade quality to it and weighs 6 lbs.
Why We Love It: The naive casting and finishing when paired with the linear references to trim have an almost English vibe. Perhaps an influence from Colonial times.
Condition: Bottom shows shelf wear and has three holes, likely for affixing in-place as a security measure. Lots of glorious patina.
Dims: 10” L x 5” W x 5” H
