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
--with stretchers' tenons mortised into the legs, contain the panels. This construction
alows 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.
