Made in Vizagapatam, Andhra Pradesh, India on the coast of the Bay of Bengal in the latter half of the 1800's, this delightful trinket box is remarkable in that it has no apparent damage whatsoever...no splits in the decoration...no decorative pieces missing...absolutely 100% in tact. Most unusual for an item which is so fragile by its very nature and also by its age - some 150 years. ...All in all it is not surprising that such items are so highly collectible.Please see the attached photos which are an integral part of this description. All items are described to the best of my knowledge, however I usually don't state the obvious as this can be seen from the numerous photos provided.As can be seen from the attached photos the box is in excellent all round condition. The box does not have a key at present (I will however look through my spares and endeavour to find one that fits what appears to be a simple lock.)Please appreciate that all items are antique/vintage/used and therefore are likely to show varying degrees of age related wear and tear. If you want to ensure 100% pristine condition may I suggest you buy new.This would make a wonderful gift or addition to a collection DIMENSIONS: 18.5 cm x 14.0 cm x 6.5 cm This item can be shipped worldwide, subject to the schedule of excluded countries noted in the listing.
