Description from the seller
Antique and spectacular sandalwood jewelry box, original from Asia, dating to the 19th century. Sandalwood is a heavy wood, yellow in color with a very fine grain, whose fragrance lasts for decades and acts as a moth and insect repellent. During the British colonial era, sandalwood was imported into Great Britain from India, and it was also used in Asia for the manufacture of Anglo-Indian furniture and small objects. This box is intricately carved with figurative decoration, including immortals inspecting scrolls, pagodas, and prunus. A true, unique and elegant collector’s piece. A truly exceptional, unparalleled piece that will adorn any corner of the home.

Dimensions: 12.5 cm high, 31.5 cm wide and 16 cm deep.
It will be carefully packed with insured shipping and a tracking number. Note: countries with customs and/or special destinations may require additional information as well as increased shipping costs. The Balearic Islands will incur an additional shipping surcharge of €18 over Spain shipping.
