Elena Napoleone

This octagonal decorative box from India is crafted in papier-mâché with lacquer painting, a traditional technique widely practiced in Kashmir and northern India. The lid depicts a courtly scene with figures in traditional dress, while the sides are decorated with animal motifs, including deer in a stylised landscape.

The hand-painted decoration is executed in bold colours with gold highlights against a black background, giving the piece both vibrancy and character. A small label underneath reads “Made in India”, confirming its origin.

Measuring approx. 8 × 7 × 5 cm, the box is well-proportioned and suitable as a trinket box or decorative object.

Condition: Fair to good. Some surface wear, small scratches, and minor paint losses are present, typical for vintage papier-mâché lacquerware. Structurally intact.

Collectors of Indian folk art, decorative boxes, and lacquerware will appreciate this piece as an authentic example of 20th-century handcraft, merging utility with artistic charm.

Securely packaged and shipped with track & trace.
