19th Century Antique Thin Round Quill Box

The Antique Thin Round Quill Box reflects the late‑19th‑century tradition of quill work from Ceylon (Sri Lanka), where porcupine quills and dark woods such as ebony were crafted into small souvenirs for European travelers. This slim, circular piece features finely set quills around its edge and a fitted lid that opens to reveal an small interior vessel, fit for tucking away small treasures. Its compact scale and intricate detailing make it a compelling example of the period’s craftsmanship.
