FAQs

Originating during the 18th and 19th centuries, Anglo-Indian inlaid chests were crafted by Indian artisans combining traditional regional woodwork techniques with European furniture forms to serve colonial trade and travel needs.

These chests were primarily crafted from dense hardwoods such as rosewood, teak, or mahogany, adorned with hand-shaped brass corner mounts, straps, and intricate brass wire or sheet inlay.

Authentic period trunks exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, irregular brass wire inlay flush with the timber surface, natural oxidisation on the metal, and minor hand-tool marks consistent with period craftsmanship.

Place the chest atop a hallway console, sideboard, or study desk to serve as a decorative focal point while offering discreet storage for documents, linens, or personal items.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and nourish the wood with high-quality beeswax paste, avoiding harsh liquid polishes or abrasive chemicals that can loosen metal inlay.
