Description
A collection of decorative boxes including carved wood chests, a painted wood box, and a lacquered box. The carved wooden chests, possibly camphor wood, feature deep relief foliate and acanthus leaf carving to the lids and front panels, each raised on a shaped plinth base. The rectangular painted box is supported on four ebonised bun feet and decorated with scenes of figures and animals in a landscape; the interior is lined with yellow paper. The collection further includes a small domed box of lacquered papier-mâché, featuring an intricate hunting scene in the Indo-Persian style with equestrian figures and fauna against a black ground. No maker’s marks or signatures are visible on any of the pieces.
