<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 300217, member: 4654&quot;]I bought this box recently, I think it has some real age maybe 1750? I suspect it&#039;s Indo-Portuguese. There is evidence to show the lock (Victorian) has been changed at a later date. The wood is some sort of hardwood (maybe rosewood) with deep inset ivory, 2 of the feet are replacements (one by me, the ebony one) but the other 2 are original made from buffalo horn. It would be wonderful if you great people could give me your opinion. I did find a box of similar type halfway down this page in a group of Indo-Portuguese boxes, it&#039;s the one on the top right of the group .......... <a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/news/auctions/upcoming-auctions/austin-auction-gallery-sale-to-feature-indo-portuguese-contadors-boxes-feb-27/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/news/auctions/upcoming-auctions/austin-auction-gallery-sale-to-feature-indo-portuguese-contadors-boxes-feb-27/" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/news/auctions/upcoming-auctions/austin-auction-gallery-sale-to-feature-indo-portuguese-contadors-boxes-feb-27/</a>&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]98058[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]98059[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]98060[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]98061[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]98062[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]98063[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]98064[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
