How do I care for my box?

Keep wooden boxes away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent the delicate veneers from drying out or lifting. Apply a light microcrystalline wax occasionally to nourish the timber and maintain the polished surface.

Were these always meant for jewellery?

Many pieces began life as tea caddies, collectors cabinets, or desk boxes rather than dedicated storage for rings and necklaces. Their compartmented interiors and secure locks make them readily adaptable for organising modern personal items.

How do I date a marquetry box?

Examine the secondary woods inside the carcase, the style of the hinges, and the nature of the lock mechanism to find clues about the period of manufacture. Comparing the floral or geometric motifs to established Victorian, Georgian, or Art Deco design standards also helps determine age.

What is the difference between inlay and marquetry?

Inlay involves inserting pieces of wood into a recessed cavity carved directly into the solid surface of the object. Marquetry covers the entire carcase with a pre-assembled mosaic of veneer sheets glued down as a complete pictorial skin.
