About the Item

A rustic Indian wooden document box from the 19th century with brass details, partial opening top and petite bracket feet. This rustic Indian wooden document box from the 19th century exudes an aura of historical charm and authenticity. Adorned with brass details that highlight its antique character, this box is a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The petite bracket feet upon which it stands add an elegant touch to its rugged aesthetic, while the partitioned interior suggests its practical use for storing precious documents or small treasures. The weathered appearance of the wood, coupled with its great rustic character, makes this box a captivating decorative item for any home. It can be placed on a desk, shelf, or table as a statement piece that not only serves a functional purpose but also sparks conversation about its origins and the stories it holds. The top, which partially opens with a delicate C-scroll handle, invites curiosity and exploration. In a modern home, this document box can bridge the gap between the contemporary and the historical, adding depth and texture to the decor. It's perfect for collectors, history enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates the beauty of aged objects and the sense of mystery they carry.
