Description
Antique Silver Repousse Betel Nut Box. I believe this dates to the mid 1800 from what I could find out from the former owner as it had been passed down over many generations. It is elaborately decorated in a deep repousse with six figures and ornate leaf and floral scrolling. The lid fits very tightly. The top and bottom edges have several ridges with a fine intricate rope beading. The lid is also very ornate with a foliate design and more intricate rope beading in concentric circles and there is a Sulemani Agate mounted in the very center.I have tried to rotate and show many clear photos for the condition and will be happy to send anyone additional photos.
This box measures 3 1/2" in height by 3 1/4" in diameter. This box weighs 260 grams.
Two of the faces on the figures are slightly dented and there is a little daylight showing where the box was joined on the interior.
