<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 9743909, member: 4654"]Yes a fantastic find, it's not just the "smoosh" (love that) in the corner but also it has natural splits in the ebony and the hinges have at some point been broken out so I may need to inset some new wood (not a lot) and re-carve to match, clean off the glue or I might need to disassemble and re-glue but these are so rare it's worth doing. I only have 3 examples of antique Ceylonese carving so very happy with my find.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
