Bubinga and Ebony Inlay Banding Box

11" x 16.5" x 5"- 9"; $750 -$1200

  
   
  This box, the largest of my traditional, chest-style jewelry boxes, features spectacularly figured veneered panels and a top of quilted bubinga, a dense lustrous African wood often referred to as African rosewood. Legs and stretchers of solid bubinga --the stretchers' tenons are mortised into the legs,and contain the panels. This construction allows for precision-fit drawers, and a solidity matching the finest custom made furniture. The top of the box features beveled inlays of ebony and a matching quilted bubinga sawn from a shop built block. Innovative necklace storage and earring storage systems make the inside of the box as notable as the outside, a combination of artistry and engineering that only someone who spends far too much time thinking about jewelry boxes could have produced.  
   
 Open view showing innovative necklace storage and earring storage systems, and the precision dovetailed drawers. This joinery, usually found only in the finest custom furniture, makes for a jewelry box that will last for generations. The necklace box has a spring hinged, padded top section that places gentle tension on necklaces, preventing the inevitable entanglement common to inexpensive necklace "pouches" used by other box makers.  
 Delivered price on this box is $1200. Click here to Buy. I also make this box without a drawer for $750. For more details on the both versions of this box, click here.
