A charming collection of seven vintage wooden trinket / keepsake boxes, all decorated with brass-tone elephant motifs and offered together as one decorative job lot.
The collection contains a variety of shapes, sizes and styles, including rectangular boxes, a curved-front example and a more substantial rounded box with decorative brass edging and a front clasp.
Each box features an elephant motif inset or applied to the lid, with natural variations in the wood grain, colouring and decorative finish giving every piece its own character.
All seven boxes open to reveal simple natural wooden interiors. They would be ideal for storing small pieces of jewellery, keepsakes, coins or other miniature collectables, or simply displayed together as an attractive elephant-themed collection.
Included:
No maker's marks or definite country-of-origin markings are visible, so I wouldn't attribute these to India or another specific country without evidence.
Vintage pre-owned condition throughout with signs of age, previous use and storage.
The boxes show varying degrees of surface wear including scratches, rubbing, marks, colour variation and wear to the wooden finishes.
The brass-tone elephant decorations and fittings display age-related tarnishing and patination.
Some boxes show small knocks or imperfections around the edges and corners, which can be seen in the photographs.
The interiors also show normal signs of previous use.
These haven't been heavily restored or refinished, so they retain their aged vintage appearance and character.
Please study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description and show the exact seven boxes included.
