Originally designed as a secure strongbox during British colonial India, it features a distinctive sloped pyramid lid and detailed hand-cut brass fittings, each carefully riveted and aged to a warm patina. Once used to protect important documents and treasures, it now makes a charming storage box. Inside, a divided compartment offers ideal space for jewelry, letters, or small keepsakes. The brass mounts and flame-like designs highlight a unique blend of Eastern and European craftsmanship typical of Anglo-Indian art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"1292\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCondition:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIn good antique condition with age-appropriate wear.
