Vintage Elephant and Maharajah Tin Container from England Hinged Lid

Description

The romance of old India with her Maharajahs and majestic elephants. This tin container captures the essence of that era. Done in shades reminiscent of the tropics – orange, yellow, brown, black and red. Scene features a black elephant decked out in grand tapestry and carrying a maharajah (or someone like that) along with a uniformed elephant guide wearing a turban. Palm trees line the path and there are mountains in the background. The hinged lid features a fretwork and floral design which reminds me of old buildings in the near East. Marked near the bottom on the back – Container Made in England.

Rectangular in shape with rounded ends. Some signs of age - scratches, discoloration and areas of rust inside the tin as well as along the edges of the lid and base. A few spots where there are little dents. Remains of old price sticker on the base. Measures about 6 inches by 3.25 inches across the top. About 5.25 inches tall. A simply glorious decorative piece and just great for little keepsakes.
