Antique Indian Silver Box Cutch (Kutch) Silver Work Asian Circa 1880
An impressive antique Indian silver box.
This fine antique Indian silver box has an irregular hexagonal shaped form with one line of symmetry and shaped rounded ends. The body of this box is embellished with impressive rope bordered panels of profuse, finely chased Islamic inspired scrolling coriander-leaf designs; a style typically found in Cutch (Kutch) silver work from the second half of the 19th century.
The domed hinged shaped cover is ornamented with further fine and impressive scrolling leaf ornamentation featuring a central floral motif and bordered with a variety of rope and geometric shaped borders. The underside of the box reflects a simplified engraved version of the cover's design. Dimensions: Length 6". Width 3 1/8". Height  2 1/4". Weight 7.74 troy ounces / 241 grams. Maker: Unknown.  We see mark to rim; see last two photos.
Date: circa 1880. Origin: India.
This antique Indian silver box is an exceptional gauge of silver and fine quality.
The chased decoration is very sharp and the engraved decoration is very crisp.
Probable resoldering to inside box, where the bottom meets the side.  See photos.  Several pin pricks to the high points of the decoration.  Still shows nicely, quite nice for its age.
