Garden Jewelry Box - 10 x 12.5 x 9.5 $1800 |
 |
| I filled the page with this photo to try to do justice to this magnificent
jewelry box. This box features both of the decorative techniques I
work with, end grain lamination, and inlay banding. The inner end
grain panel features Brazilian tulip-wood tulips, and the inlay banding
features honey locust leaves in a field of curly maple, with macassar
ebony. The case is figured cherry with macassar ebony legs and stretchers.
Hinged with Italian brass cylinder hinges and with Brusso lidstay.
The compound mitred top section is solid cherry with Maccassar ebony
inlay, and the lower case is solid Maccassar ebony legs and stretchers
with panels veneered with a thick veneer cut from the same board as
the top section for perfect color match. This construction allows
me to fit the drawers very precisely for a silky glide, without binding
when the weather changes. This is a very special box! Scroll down
for details .Price, including shipping, is $1800.00.

total of 31 compartments, many large enough for your largest pieces of jewelry,
or even small boxes, accommodates your collection.The bottom drawer can house
an object a full inch and a half deep. The drawers are stopped with spring loaded
catches, so they wont fall out when you reach for that special pin in the back.
The drawer pulls are rounded across both front dimensions, and are also tapered
in thickness as they approach the case, allowing an effortless tug |

view shows the inside of the endgrain panel, held in place by wide mitred 1/8"
cherry veneer. The compound angles of the frame holding the panels and the top
section of the box form a dramatic rise which is surprisingly beautiful when viewed
with the jewelry box open. The earring tray and both drawers feature a foam padded
velvet ring storage to match the overall black velvet liner. | |

storage on black velveteen in back on the left, with a handle in the middle for

Close-up of top shows the satinwood accent around the interior tulip
lobe, and the little jatoba "berries" at the vertices of the honey locust
"leaves", set off against a fine curly maple. Also with Peruvian walnut
bordering the tulips' holly field, maple dancing dots, a mahogany inner and outer
frame to the maple, and maccassar ebony frame where the panel enters the beveled
cherry frame.
