A striking Zanzibar blanket box crafted in rich Padouk, its deep colour and bold grain enhanced by elaborate studwork across the lid and front. The brass corner mounts, hinges and lock plate lend strength and a pleasing contrast to the warm timber, while the side carrying handles reflect its original practical purpose.

The interior is clean and spacious, with its original candle box to one side The wood has developed a lovely patina, and the studwork remains crisp, giving the piece real decorative presence.

Robust, exotic and full of character, it’s an excellent example of Zanzibar workmanship — both useful and highly decorative in a modern interior.
