Antique 19th c Anglo Indian Lucknow Sterling silver Quality Lime Paste container or box-Circa 1880 Description Here we have a superbly crafted 19th Century Anglo Indian Lucknow lime paste box. The paste is mixed with betel nut to make the well-known Indian after meal aperitif called pan. I really need say very little about this stunningly well-crafted and chased box as the photographs give you all the information you require. Typically, the container depicts wild animals in a jungle scene which is Lucknow's characteristic trade mark in silver embellishment. The box measures 2 ¼” wide x 2” in height. This isn’t really one for the melting pot at approximately 50g or under 2 ounces. However, the quality of this piece really suggests that it should be saved & appreciated for its sheer beauty and testament to the silversmith’s art. The lime paste container is in outstanding condition without damage. Please feel free to contact me about this item or request additional photographs either via eBay of For UK buyers, a cheque is preferable to PayPal please! !
