Here at Regent Antiques, we are pleased to be able to offer a wide choice of carefully-selected antique coromandel wood boxes<\/a> and caskets.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Regent Antiques, we specialise in antique boxes and caskets<\/a> of many different styles and functionality, including antique jewellery caskets, dressing cases, games compendiums, stationery boxes and many more. Among those we acquire and offer for sale are exceptional examples made with the highly sought after coromandel wood<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coromandel wood is a valuable wood from India, Sri Lanka and South East Asia. It is of a hazel-brown colour, with black stripes (or the other way about), heavy and hard. <\/span><\/p>\n

Coromandel wood has been logged to extinction over the last two to three hundred years and is no longer available for new work in any quantity. Furniture in coromandel is so expensive and so well looked after that even finding recycled stock is very unlikely. <\/span><\/p>\n
