ANTIQUE BRASS JEWELLERY BOX – 125+ YEARS OLD

Antique Brass Jewellery Box with Sun Motif (125+ Years Old)

This exquisite antique brass jewellery box is over 125 years old and reflects the finest tradition of Indian metal craftsmanship. Hand-forged from solid brass, it features a dome-shaped lid with a beautifully engraved sun motif, symbolising prosperity and protection. The original hand-clasp lock and circular top handle represent late 19th to early 20th century engineering and design.

Its hand-hammered texture, aged patina, and natural oxidation give the box a rich historical character. Originally, such boxes were used to store jewellery and valuable heirlooms and were often gifted to brides as part of their wedding trousseau. Today, it stands as a rare museum-grade collectible.
