Each object represents a different traditional discipline and culture within historical woodworking, making this international lot a wonderful ensemble for enthusiasts and collectors. The lot consists of the following four unique pieces: 1. Indian Secret Puzzle Box (Origin: India, Kashmir/Saharanpur region): Made of solid Sheesham wood (Indian rosewood). The box is richly decorated on all sides with deep, hand-carved relief patterns featuring traditional floral and leaf motifs. This is a so-called 'trick box' or puzzle box: the lid is fully locked and only opens when a concealed wooden panel on the outside is slid sideways. This ingenious mechanism still functions perfectly. 2. Sorrento-style Inlay Box (Origin: Italy, Sorrento region): A refined jewelry box featuring skillfully inlaid wood veneer (marquetry). The lid displays an elegant, symmetrical pattern of two birds and graceful scrolls, finished with a smooth, high-gloss lacquer coating. This model is strictly for storage and does not contain a mechanical music box. 3. Geometric Chip-Carved Box (Origin: Eastern/Central Europe): Created using the traditional folk art technique of chip carving. The lid is decorated with a sophisticated star-shaped sun motif. The interior and base reveal a stunning, wildly figured wood grain (burl or olive wood). The box features an authentic, handcrafted wooden hinge mechanism at the rear. 4. Pyrography Box (Origin: Western Europe): Decorated using pyrography (wood burning), a highly popular craft technique of the time. Made from a light, uniform hardwood, it features a geometric burnt pattern of overlapping circles on the lid and vertical lines along the edges. The box stands on four distinctive square wooden feet. Condition: Structurally, the boxes are in excellent, neat vintage condition, showing normal signs of age and a natural patina entirely consistent with their age. • Important note: For one of the four boxes, the lid is currently detached from the base because the original mounting hinges/pins have come loose. There is no broken woodwork; a handy buyer can repair this quickly and easily. • The Italian Sorrento box is missing a tiny splinter of wood from the raised inner edge of the rim. This is invisible from the outside and does not interfere with closing the lid. Please view the extensive series of photos to form your own accurate impression of the condition and the beautiful details. Packaging and shipping: We take the utmost care to ensure a safe handover to the new owner. • Packaging: The boxes are individually wrapped with care in a thick layer of bubble wrap. The lot is then placed in a sturdy, shock-absorbing outer box made of thick cardboard to prevent shifting or damage during transport. • Shipping: The lot is shipped exclusively via a reliable courier service, fully insured and with a signature required upon delivery. You will receive the Track & Trace code immediately after shipment so you can closely monitor the delivery.
