Early 20th Century Anglo-Indian Sadeli Inlaid Jewellery Box

Product Description
£345.00
Maximum quantity available reached.

An early 20th century Anglo-Indian Sadeli inlaid jewellery box, exceptionally finely crafted with intricate geometric micro mosaic decoration and a stepped domed lid.

The interior is lined in rich scarlet velvet, ruched to the underside of the lid, while a turned pull reveals the compartment beneath. I particularly like the extraordinary precision and density of the inlay work, which gives the surface an almost architectural quality.

Sadeli mosaic work is believed to have travelled from Shiraz in Persia through Sindh to Bombay, where highly skilled craftsmen developed the technique into some of the finest decorative boxes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Composed of thousands of tiny pieces arranged into repeating geometric patterns, the process was exceptionally labour-intensive and remains closely associated with Anglo-Indian decorative arts.

This is an especially intricate example, with remarkable depth and consistency to the mosaic inlay across every surface. The layered borders and richly patterned lid create a striking sculptural presence, equally suited to a dressing table, study, or layered interior setting.

Condition: Very good antique condition with age-related surface wear and fine craquelure consistent with age and materials. No significant losses noted to the inlay.

Dimensions:
25.5 cm wide × 25.5 cm deep × 6 cm high
