19th Century Ceylonese Porcupine Quill Box 1930s Desk Lamp An unusual 19th century curvedA late 19th century Ceylonese ebony and porcupine quill box with bone inlay decoration. This lovely box has the original brass hinges and working lock and key. The interior is in good clean condition with a decorative ebony and bone inlay panel to the underside of the lid.
