Product Description
Crafted in 1961, this antique silver-coated solid brass trinket box features a unique fan-shaped (or paan-shaped) silhouette with a hinged lid. The lid showcases a prominent embossed peacock motif surrounded by intricate floral vines and ornate openwork clasps, while the outer sides are hand-engraved with repeating floral rosettes. Historically, silver-plated brass boxes of this form were prized by women to store precious family heirlooms, traditional jewelry, coins, or fragrant betel leaves (paan).
Benefits of silver-coated solid brass construction include robust structural strength, a bright metallic finish, and a rich antiqued patina that develops soft historical character over time. Today, this distinctive piece serves as an elegant vanity accent or heirloom storage box. Display it on a dressing table, place it on a wooden console, or feature it inside a display cabinet to add authentic traditional craftsmanship to your home.
