Description

A striking Anglo-Indian blanket box, masterfully carved from richly patinated Padouk and embellished with decorative brass work. The front panel showcases a symmetrical foliate design emanating from a central urn motif, framed by scrolling vines that speak to the exuberance of traditional Indian craftsmanship. The top is adorned with pierced circular brass plates, while the corners are strengthened with shaped brackets and diamond-shaped studs. The interior is clean and retains its original candle box—a charming detail that hints at the box’s historical use and authenticity. Elegant and versatile, this piece is ideal for storing blankets, pillows, or treasured belongings at the foot of a bed. Alternatively, its warm tones and intricate carving make it a striking coffee table or decorative accent in any living space. A beautiful fusion of Indian artistry and British colonial design, it offers generous storage while serving as a captivating focal point. Whether placed in a hallway, bedroom, or drawing room, it stands as a testament to skilled craftsmanship and cultural exchange.

Here at Sinclair's Antiques and Interiors we do our utmost best to ensure all our items are described and photographed to show any flaws or damage such as shrinkage splits, losses or lifts to veneer, repairs or marks. However, giving the age and the fact that each piece will have had years of polishing to create its own individual character we cannot describe every minor mark separately and therefore recommend you either visit our warehouse or request extra photographs.
