Early 19th Century repoussé Indian Lock / Safe Box

About the Item

Early 19th Century repoussé Indian Lock / Safe Box A wonderful example of an early 19th Century hand crafted Indian safety/lock box. Originating from Northern India around 1820 we believe due to its style and form, this amazing example has bronze repoussé detail and an aged natural deep patination across all its surface. An important piece of craftsmanship we believe and a highly decorative object. Dimensions in inches: H 8” x W 18.5” x D 12” Age: 1820 to 1850 Origin: India Condition: Aged Aged wear across all the bronze and wooden surface s shown. With its wooden surface being worn and naturally aged through obvious use / handling over the years. Scratches, missing detail and loss of both wood and metal detail. This example does not lock however the hinges are firmly in place and the box opens and closes as first intended. Repousse work damaged and lifted in areas but mostly present. This box is over 200 years old, authentic, and true to its age, untouched as all we have done is applied a light natural bees wax to protect the wood. Remnants of practice carved geometric shapes to the inside lid as shown also.

Early 19th Century Persian Wooden Box

Located in London, GB

Early 19th century Persian wooden box A large Persian wooden box and marquetry called "Khatam Kari" with mosaic decoration of stars and geometric patterns, Middle East origin, early-19th century. This box is in overall good condition considering its age and use, it still has its original silk insert fabric firmly attached which is rare. Khatam kari is a fine and meticulous marquetry work, the oldest examples of which date back to the Safavid era: khatam was then so appreciated by the court that certain princes learned the technique as well as music, painting, or calligraphy. The “Khatam-kari” is therefore the “work of inlays”. This technique consists of making patterns, most often star shapes, by inlaying fine wooden sticks (ebony, Teak, jujube, orange tree, rose), brass (for the golden parts), and camel bone (white parts). The decorated objects are legion: boxes, chess or backgammon games, frames, pipes, desks, or even musical instruments. The khatam can also be associated with the famous Persian miniatures, thus realizing works of art. Coming from techniques imported from China and magnified by Persian know-how, this craft has existed for over 700 years. Size in inches: H 5” x W 15” x D 9.5” Age: 1830 - 1850 Origin: Persia Material: Mixed material Completely solid in structure and form, aged naturally across all the surfaces. This box does not have a key and therefore cannot be locked, it has had old repairs in blue ink as shown. With one replacement leg...
