Description: Anglo-Indian Inlaid Box A good example of an antique Anglo-Indian work box dating from the early 20th Century. It is made of a dense exotic hardwood with intricate brass inlaid decoration and brass strapped corners. The hinged lid opens to reveal a mirror below with an inlaid brass border around it. Either side are ornate carved and pierced racks presumably for pens or documents. There is a velvet lined tray inside the box which lifts out to reveal a lower layer which is divided into 5 compartments. Alongside the brass decoration, the top of the box is also inlaid in brass with a dedication "FROM AMIN SONS & CO".The box is in good condition and is strong and sturdy with a lovely rich patina. There are signs of age and use, some small chips and knocks and minor wear but no major damages or losses. The interior is generally clean and tidy and it comes with its original working key. Approximate Measurements:Height : 5" (13cm)Width : 12" (30cm)Depth : 8" (20cm)The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions at all please ask.
