FAQs

Anglo-Indian sandalwood caskets are intricately carved decorative boxes produced in regions such as Mysore during the British colonial period, combining traditional South Asian craftsmanship with European forms.

These pieces are typically fashioned from fragrant sandalwood, featuring dense, low-relief chip carving that covers every exterior surface, often complemented by secret compartments and foil linings.

Authenticity is determined by the distinct aroma of the sandalwood, the crispness and complexity of the micro-carvings depicting foliage or mythological figures, and period-appropriate hardware such as brass locks.

Place the box on a console table, desk, or mantelpiece as a focal point where its texture contrasts with clean, contemporary surfaces while allowing the natural fragrance to diffuse.

Keep the object away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent warping or fading, and clean gently with a soft, dry brush to avoid damaging the delicate carved details.
