Waves and Abalone Shell box
This is a beautiful box created by local artist, Maria Santos-Alcantara with 10 square compartments and one large rectangular compartment, and a removable tray with a further 10 square compartments, and one rectangular compartment.
This box is handcrafted from the root of the Thuya tree before being expertly French polish finished to enhance the full character of this exquisite burr. It has a beautiful woody scent to it that fades with time. The top is made out of pewter, which has an enduring quality as it does not oxidise, meaning it requires no other care than an occasional dust. It is inlaid with Abalone.
