This
box features eight book-matched pieces of Brazilian tulipwood, the lightest hued
of the true rosewoods, in a beveled field of wenge, with holly. The case is figured
cherry, with ebony drawer pulls and two dovetailed drawers. The beveled frame
fits around the top with a compound miter, so there's extra interior room up top.
The pattern shows when the box is open, as the lid is solid. Also available without
drawers for lower price. Click on image for more detail.
This
jewelry chest is constructed with solid curly cherry. The mitered corners are
fastened with butterfly splined miters. The top is solid end grain wood, not veneer
--so the pattern shows through when the box is open, which is especially dramatic
as both the top itself and the cherry frame containing it have compound mitered
assemblies. Brusso solid brass lidstay, with padded velvet ring storage in the
sliding top tray and bottom drawer. Note that the box front has a rail, dovetail
splined to the sides, below the botom drawer, holding the case width steady for
smooth sliding drawers.
This is also available without drawers, for $500.00. Click on the image for
