Description from the seller
Anglo-Persian decorative box from the first half of the 20th century, made of carved wood with bone inlays forming an intricate geometric mosaic. Hexagonal in shape with a domed lid topped with a gilded knob, the piece features rich ornamentation in black, red, gold, and ivory tones, with floral motifs and arabesques reflecting the influence of traditional Islamic art.
The technique used—probably marquetry or inlay—combines artisanal precision and aesthetic refinement, typical of Indo-Persian decorative production aimed at the European market. The symmetrical design and contrasting polychromy evoke the aesthetic of Oriental luxury objects reinterpreted for the Victorian and Edwardian taste.
This box could be used as a jewelry box, a desk container, or an ornamental piece, and represents the dialogue between cultures in the field of decorative arts. Ideal for collectors of exotic objects, historical marquetry, or Anglo-Oriental furniture, it retains its value due to the quality of craftsmanship, richness of materials, and formal balance.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
