This three-tier brass tiffin box dates to around 1900 and is a classic example of the traditional Indian dabba—used for carrying lunches, small snacks, and home-cooked meals. Made entirely from hand-worked brass, it consists of three individual compartments that stack securely within their original frame, held firmly in place by a hinged handle and locking bar. The interior of each tier still shows the soft wear of many years of use.

Today, antique tiffin boxes like this are sought after not only as nostalgic culinary objects but also as practical storage pieces. They make excellent jewellery boxes, table ornaments, or serving pieces for dry foods. As each one is vintage, small dents, marks and surface irregularities are normal and add to the character of the piece—please refer to the photos for individual condition details.
