<p>[QUOTE=&quot;shamster, post: 10047617, member: 85821&quot;]I just bought this lovely box from ebay but when I put it together with my other boxes, I start to wonder if this could be an indian reproduction? Cuz I found its photo on an indian website but they don&#039;t have the actual image of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you can see the glass appears to be greener than another authentic box, and given the similar size, the claws are less delicate. Also, there&#039;s no leather or tin sheet at the back. And most suspicious is the silk pad, a replacement or original to a newly made repro?</p><p><br /></p><p>But it does have signs of wear and age all over it. It&#039;s also missing a hook or something on the lid. Two other boxes with same construction but missing the silk are described as 1900s by the auction house.[ATTACH=full]504450[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]504451[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]504452[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]504453[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]504454[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
