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.
