Description
Stunning early 19th century example of a Vizagapatam box.

From circa 1820-1840.
Made in Vizagapatam, India, this box is made of sandalwood but completely covered in t/shell and faux ivory fretwork or frieze work.
It sits on 4 carved faux ivory or bone lions paw feet.
The box is decorated using black 'lac' indelible ink made from crushed lac beetles ..... floral motifs.

It would have been made for export, for British Dowagers or Duchesses to hold their rings on their nightstand.
Only someone very wealthy would have owned this!
