FAQs

South Indian sandalwood boxes from the 19th century are characterised by dense, intricate high-relief carvings depicting native flora, fauna, and mythological scenes. Produced primarily in regions such as Mysore and Travancore, these pieces were crafted during the colonial period as decorative caskets and storage vessels.

These boxes were constructed using solid aromatic sandalwood or hardwood frames clad in carved sandalwood panels. Construction methods featured hand-carved relief work, brass hinges, and interiors often fitted with secondary compartments or lift-out trays.

Authentic period pieces display hand-executed carvings with slight variations in depth, aged wear around handling points, and traditional joinery rather than modern fasteners. The sandalwood often retains a subtle, lingering fragrance, accompanied by an authentic surface patina.

A carved sandalwood box functions as a textured accent when positioned on a console table, dressing table, or bookshelf. The detailed wood carving contrasts effectively against smooth modern surfaces, natural linen, and metallic brass elements.

Maintenance requires regular dusting using a dry, soft-bristled brush to reach within the relief carving. To prevent cracking or drying of the wood, the box should be kept away from direct sunlight, humidity fluctuations, and heating elements.
