Box - Colonial Hardware - Kingwood - Anglo-Indian style

This 1900s palo santo wooden box is a refined and functional piece, designed for the safekeeping of jewelry in a high-end domestic environment.

Carved from palo santo, a noble wood known for its density and characteristic aroma, it features a solid structure with dark, deep grains that add natural elegance. Its design reflects colonial taste, with decorative metallic hardware on the corners and closure, probably made of brass, which enhance both the aesthetic and durability.

The interior is carefully lined with green velvet, a luxurious material that protects delicate pieces and adds chromatic contrast to the set. It includes removable drawers, suggesting a design thought out for rings, pendants, and small valuables, typical of personal jewelry boxes from the period.

Despite the lack of a rivet, the box remains in good condition, with minimal signs of wear that do not affect its functionality or visual appeal. This type of piece was common in British bourgeois or colonial homes, where furniture combined utility with sober ornamentation.

Due to its quality materials, structured design, and preservation, it is a highly valued piece in the antiques market, especially among collectors of historic jewelry boxes and decorative furniture from the 19th century.
