Nest of Three Carved and Brass Inlaid Wooden Boxes



SOLD

Very nice set of three nested wooden boxes, probably sheesham, each with a diagonal floral pattern hand carved into the lid with inlaid brass leafes and branches. They are well made with brass hinges and all lids close snugly. The inside of the lid and base are covered in red velveteen, slightly more plush in the largest box although none are particularly worn, the fibres just compressed from storage. They do not appear to have been used much, if at all, and are therefore in very good condition with very few surface marks.

Small: 13.5cm x 5.5cm x 3.3cm. Compartment: 11cm x 3cm x 2cm
Medium: 17cm x 9cm x 4.5cm. Compartment: 14.5cm x 6.5cm x 3cm
Large: 20.3cm x 12.7cm x 6.3cm. Compartment: 17.5cm x 9.8cm x 4.5cm
