Storage trunk - Gilt brass - Bread box, India, 19th century

Chapati box (North Indian bread in the form of a flat cake) in gilded brass dating from the second half of the 19th century. Handmade craftsmanship, the lid fully chased, the top handle, hinge and lock also in gilded brass make this piece a very beautiful item that can serve many uses such as a jewelry box, a sewing kit, or a valet tray. Not very common, it will also attract the curiosity of your guests who may wonder about its original function. It is in perfect condition both visually and functionally. Shipping only within Europe. Shipping to Madeira Islands: 30 euros. No shipping to any international destinations.
