Opening this wooden box from India once released the irresistible aroma of a spice blend such as garam masala or panch phoron. Redolent with cardamom, fenugreek, and other aromatics, such carefully crafted condiments were the pride of an Indian homemaker and key ingredients to nearly every meal. Simply carved with a single floral medallion on the lid, this spice box has been burnished to a warm finish by the loving touch of generations of home cooks. We love it displayed slightly ajar, filled with wrapped candies or odds and ends.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
