Early 20th Century Decorative Enamel & Brass Metal Playing Card, Trinket Box

We are pleased to offer from our personal collection this charming, colorful and decorative hand made brass metal box with a stylized floral and leafy vine motifs. The box was probably made sometime in the early 20th Century in India and was sold during that time period to keep playing cards or keepsake items in storage. The decoration is hand incised, then hand colored with enamel colors of red, green dark blue, white and amber. There is a wood lining on the bottom half of the box with a wood separator to store two decks of playing cards side by side. We've added four synthetic skid free button feet to the underside. Add an exotic touch to your décor with this box! We've kept it on our desk, coffee table and shelves over the years, but now we are needing to make room for other things.
