Antique Cast Brass and Copper Indian Dhokra Lidded Horse Box - Rare Vintage Find

There's a wonderful, earthy charm to Dhokra work, one of India's oldest metal casting traditions, still made today using the ancient lost-wax method passed down through generations of tribal artisans.

This lidded box takes the form of a horse, cast in brass and copper with all the wonderfully rustic, hand-worked texture that makes Dhokra pieces so collectable.

The lid lifts up to reveal a small hollow interior, perfect for keeping trinkets, jewellery or little treasures safe.

A genuinely special antique piece, full of folk-art character, and a lovely conversation starter for any home.

A Note About Our Vintage Finds 🕰️

Every piece in our vintage collection has lived a life before finding its way to us - pre-loved, full of character, and looking for its next forever home.

These are not new items, so please do expect the natural marks and signs of a previous life that come with age - these are part of their precious life story.

We will always photograph and note any obvious damage or imperfections in the listing so you know exactly what you are welcoming home.

Any questions? Just get in touch - we are always happy to help.

Postage & Packaging 📦

We take the safe arrival of every single vintage piece incredibly seriously. Before we even think about handing anything over to the postal service, each item is wrapped with real love and attention - layered in protective wrap, cushioned carefully, and nestled in tissue paper so it's cocooned and secure for its journey to you.

Wherever possible, we use pre-loved packaging to help keep your treasure safe on its journey to you. 🌿

We know how precious these pieces are - they've survived decades already, and we're not about to let anything happen to them on our watch!
