A trio of hand-carved soapstone boxes from India, each with a fitted lid and delicate floral inlay. The set includes one round, one oval, and one rectangular form, crafted in varying shades of green, cream, and mottled stone. The surfaces are decorated with inlaid floral motifs in shell and contrasting stone, adding subtle detail to the smooth polished finish.
Made in India, these boxes draw from the long tradition of Mughal-inspired stone inlay work, most famously seen at the Taj Mahal. They were popular artisan pieces throughout the late 20th century and remain timeless accents today—perfect for holding jewellery, keepsakes, or simply styled as decorative objects. Their weight and natural variation in the stone give each box a unique character, making them a tactile and elegant addition to your home.
