An elegant ivory-veneered and engraved casket, the lid depicting an elevation of a colonial building, the borders similarly decorated with architectural views and leafy scroll friezes. India, Vizagapatam, 19th century (36x9.5x21 cm) (defects)
This refined example of Anglo-Indian export craftsmanship reflects the sophisticated production of Vizagapatam workshops during the 19th century, renowned for their intricate ivory veneers engraved with European-inspired motifs. The precise line engraving and balanced architectural compositions demonstrate the harmonious blend of Indian technical virtuosity and Western aesthetic influence that characterized luxury objects made for the colonial trade.
