About the Item

This 19th century decorative box features a sliding lid and is constructed with dark-stained wood, likely ebony, set with vertical porcupine quills around the body and lid. The edges are inlaid with contrasting white dots, lending a striking graphic detail. At just 2” high and 9” long, it’s a finely crafted piece, likely Anglo-Indian or colonial in origin. Suitable for storing small objects, jewelry, or as a unique decorative accent.
