Discover a rare piece of personal heritage with this exquisite antique brass cylinder, dating back approximately 80 years. More than just a container, this was a gentleman's essential accessory, traditionally worn attached to a waist belt by its original brass chains for effortless portability.
Masterfully handcrafted, likely in the Deccan region, the box showcases strong Mughal influences through its intricate floral and geometric engravings. It features a clever dual-design: a smaller compartment specifically for chuna (lime paste) and a deeper section reserved for preserving fresh paan leaves, supari (betel nuts), and other essentials.
This uncommon collectible captures the elegance of India’s traditional paan culture. With its solid brass construction and history of daily use, it makes a stunning conversation piece for any vintage collection or display.
Please note that vintage pieces come with small imperfections, that's a part of its beauty and age.
