This lovely painted antique Indian box is from the town of Bikaner and has the original metalwork. It is made from roheda wood and dates to the 19th century, and is beautifully bound in hand-forged brass. Unusually its painted in a dark green tone.

These boxes were used in the old days by merchants and traders in the bazaars for storing their cash and ledgers. They were also used by Indian families for the dowry of their daughters, as a trousseau.

Exceptionally well made, these boxes make great keepsake or trinket boxes. You can store everything from TV remotes to knitting in them.
