    Description

    This is an original Antique Niello / Nielloware Silver Box from Thailand.  This nicely detailed piece dates from the late 1800's to early 1900's.  This silver container was purchased in Bangkok in the early 1970's by my father during one of his quarterly buying trips for his Antique Shop in Penang, Malaysia.  The box was purchased in Bangkok’s jewelry district bordered by Silom Road and Surawong Road.
    Please review pictures closely in regards to condition of the box.  The box has NOT been polished and retains it’s original antique patina.  Applying silver polish would drastically change the box’s appearance if you prefer a shinier / newer looking piece.  See Condition Description referenced above.
    Silver Box Dimensions: 2 1/4 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches high.  Silver Weight: 2.2 ounces (61 grams)
    Returns accepted if not completely satisfied.
