A double curved jewellery box 13" x
9" x 5" veneered with birds eye maple and decorated on the front
and lid with a traditional black and white line. All edges are
finished with black/white/ black lines and fine boxwood squares.
The centre of the lid features a contrasting burr walnut panel
with two mother of pearl motifs overlapping its edges. I did
this box quite a while ago and at that time I didn't tend to
photograph details like this - now I photograph the living daylights
out of anything that moves. A third matching motif forms the
escutcheon.
The interior is fitted out with two trays in cocobolo and
is lined throughout with red velvet and moiree.
It is fitted with good quality brass
quadrant hinges and lock and the exterior is french polished.
