Anglo Indian sewing boxes : Sadeli, Vizagapatam, Monghry, sandalwood and Ceylonese boxes
Beautiful and elaborate boxes were made for the European market over the centuries from 1600 to Indian Independance. This research paper investigates and records a rare type of box sold as 'work' or sewing boxes. The information can be applied to other types of boxes made in the same workshops.
Another aim of this paper is to help readers understand and identify Sadeli work from similar micro mosaic work produced in Syria Lebanon and Egypt.
