An ornate Huntley & Palmers biscuit tin, cleverly fashioned to resemble a carved Indian sandalwood casket. The decoration is embossed and printed onto metal, creating the appearance of carved panels surrounded by intricate inlaid borders.

Elephants, monkeys and scrolling foliage decorate the exterior, complemented by geometric bands and floral roundels. The stepped, sloping lid has a raised rectangular centre panel, rear hinges and a small front catch.

Good overall vintage condition with some small dents, surface scratches and rubbing to the printed decoration, particularly along the edges and raised areas. The interior and underside show noticeable surface wear, discolouration and oxidation. The embossed detail remains well defined and the tin displays attractively.

Please examine all photographs carefully as they form part of the description and show the condition and detail.
