A late 19th century Ceylonese ebony and porcupine quill box with bone inlay decoration. This lovely box has the original brass hinges and working lock and key. The interior is in good clean condition with a decorative ebony and bone inlay panel to the underside of the lid.
The is a minute restoration to one quill, this is very hard to detect, barely noticeable and does not detract from the appeal of this decorative box.
