A hinged lid box with a carcass of solid maple. Externally this is veneered with cross banded walnut, and the lid has a central panel of oak burr surrounded by pearwood and decorative banding. The opening edges are trimmed with padouk.

FINISH: Traditional brushed shellac polish

CARE: Avoid extremes of heat; avoid placing the box in a damp place; do not store anything damp in the box. Any of these actions may damage the box beyond repair. Polish occasionally with a good quality beeswax polish.
Wood is a natural product; the material used to construct the box has been selected to give the best stability consistent with its decorative aspect. Highly decorative boxes are more likely to exhibit some movement at joints or between veneers. In a centrally heated environment the box may show signs of cyclical movement following the heating / non-heating seasons.
Avoid forcing the lid back too far, this may damage the hinges.

Size: 16 x 10 x 5cm
