The exterior dimensions of the boxes are approximately 31.5cm length x 23.5cm width x 11.5cm height / Approximate weight: 3kg

These elegant cases are made and covered with jewel-like marquetry straw, meticulously flattened by hand, dyed and then applied with exactness. They are a luxurious addition to any dressing room to hold jewellery, or in a study to hold stationary or a collection of pens, or even to house those precious cigars. 

The marquetry is customizable in pattern and colour. 

It requires approximately 30 hours of marquetry work and a lead time of approximately 7 days.

Care Instructions

Straw marquetry is a centuries-old artisanal technique, valued for its natural lustre, precision and delicacy. With thoughtful care, each piece can retain its beauty for many years.

  • Dust gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Keep away from water, steam, damp rooms, and prolonged humidity.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and strong heat, as these may dry or fade the surface.
  • Do not use chemical sprays, alcohol, bleach, abrasive cleaners, or furniture polish.
  • Do not scrub or use rough cloths, as this may damage the marquetry.
  • Wipe marks very gently with a barely damp cloth, then dry immediately.
  • Do not place heavy or sharp objects against the marquetry surface.
  • Natural variation in tone, and hand-cut patterning is part of the character of the piece.
  • To maintain the surface over time, apply a few drops of mineral oil or petroleum jelly to a lint-free cloth and wipe gently across the marquetry. Avoid the edges, as excess moisture or oil may lift the straw fibres.
