This is an antique lacquered pen box, also known as a qalamdan, likely originating from Persia (Iran) or the Kashmir region of India.
It is made of wood, or pasteboard and then painted and lacquered.
The box features intricate, hand-painted floral designs on a dark background with gold accents, a style common in 19th-century Persian and Anglo-Indian craftsmanship.
The small opening at the bottom is where the inner tray would slide out to reveal compartments for writing tools.
Such items are considered collectible pieces of Islamic art, often dating back to the Qajar dynasty period (1796–1925).
