Indochinese wooden box and lacquer inlay, late nineteenth century

Beautiful wooden box and mother-of-pearl from the 1900s. The mother-of-pearl inlays form plant motifs (flowers and foliage), incised to give volume to the different parts. It closes with a round lock on the front, made of gilded metal. Wood is an indigenous wood. This box is ideal for storing jewelry or letters. Key not provided. Small trace of oxidation on the lock.
