Quill Decorated Sewing Box From India
The antique
sewing box pictured on this page is made of sandlewood and was once completely
decorated with African Porcupine Quills, Ivory and Horn.
This is truly a labor of love and has turned into a two-year project by Mr.
David Perry, of Kent, England.
Once completed, this one-of-a-kind special item will be for sale to the higest
bidder.

This is the outside of the box. The places
marked with the blue "X" will be restored with the quills. The pieces radiating
from the wonderful carved horn knob are made of horn and ivory and are also
in the process of being restored where missing.

This shows the inside of the box that has little doors and compartments. Even
the inside of this box is lovely and decorated.
