<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 9744582, member: 4654"]I'm not sure if this box is Indian at all? I think it maybe 18th c or even 17th c English, I've been looking at bible boxes (because I couldn't find this paten on Nagina) and the themes seem very similar, admittedly this is well out of my field of knowledge and I could be miles out but the flowers, the arches with plants inside, I don't think it's a bible box I was just looking for examples of carving. Here are a few examples.</p><p><a href="https://www.easyliveauction.com/catalogue/lot/7be39507f6d742a821ba7779b76881b9/0af8d24542e81eb9357e7ef448a6646f/the-saturday-auctions-19th-august-2023-lot-15/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.easyliveauction.com/catalogue/lot/7be39507f6d742a821ba7779b76881b9/0af8d24542e81eb9357e7ef448a6646f/the-saturday-auctions-19th-august-2023-lot-15/" rel="nofollow">https://www.easyliveauction.com/catalogue/lot/7be39507f6d742a821ba7779b76881b9/0af8d24542e81eb9357e7ef448a6646f/the-saturday-auctions-19th-august-2023-lot-15/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.nicholsonsantiques.com/product/english-oak-bible-box-on-stand-2/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.nicholsonsantiques.com/product/english-oak-bible-box-on-stand-2/" rel="nofollow">https://www.nicholsonsantiques.com/product/english-oak-bible-box-on-stand-2/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.reemandansie.com/auction/lot/1788-17th-century-oak-bible-box-with-hinged-sloping-fall-enclosing-interior-with-shelf-and-lunette-carved-frieze-56cm-wide-x-40cm-deep-x-30cm-high/?lot=88469&sd=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.reemandansie.com/auction/lot/1788-17th-century-oak-bible-box-with-hinged-sloping-fall-enclosing-interior-with-shelf-and-lunette-carved-frieze-56cm-wide-x-40cm-deep-x-30cm-high/?lot=88469&sd=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.reemandansie.com/auction/lot/1788-17th-century-oak-bible-box-with-hinged-sloping-fall-enclosing-interior-with-shelf-and-lunette-carved-frieze-56cm-wide-x-40cm-deep-x-30cm-high/?lot=88469&sd=1</a></p><p><a href="https://alexandergeorgeantiques.com/17th-century-charles-i-carved-oak-box-with-original-iron-clasp-and-staple-lock/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://alexandergeorgeantiques.com/17th-century-charles-i-carved-oak-box-with-original-iron-clasp-and-staple-lock/" rel="nofollow">https://alexandergeorgeantiques.com/17th-century-charles-i-carved-oak-box-with-original-iron-clasp-and-staple-lock/</a></p><p>I know these boxes don't look like mine just the themes of carving.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
