AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A writing box with a slightly inclined, hinged lid (canted outline), where the front, sides and back each feature inlaid wooden panels. These panels are richly carved with depictions of architecture and animals, surrounded by decorative motifs of flowers and leaves. The whole shows a refined, artisanal finish with a pronounced Anglo-Indian stylistic influence. Together with a matching Anglo-Indian carved blotter (writing pad), executed in a similar decorative and stylistic form.
Photos are part of the description.
The little box still has its accompanying key.
Seller's Story
My passion for unique objects started early. From antique markets to garage sales, I was always searching for hidden treasures. Later, I learned the ins and outs of the trade at an auction house, and eventually, I decided to forge my own path as an independent dealer. Every day, I work to shape my shop further, and Catawiki is a fantastic platform to expand my collection and share my passion with others.
Finding unique pieces, carefully giving them a second life, and then offering them in my online store. I trust my eye for quality, my sense of style, and my craftsmanship.
