<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 720296, member: 4654"]No doubt Nagina, and I've never seen Nagina box with a tambour before doe's it look original to the box? Normally a tambour is backed with material that's quite easy to tell if it's recent or old. I have seen them on late Hoshiarpur boxes but the design on your box I have on a Nagina table (1880) so I date yours around the same time. Not all Nagina boxes ect are the same, sometimes they have crude carving (for Nagina) and sometimes they are even ebonised.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
