About the Item

- Handmade for us by a fourth generation artisan in Sorrento, Italy - A timeless heirloom that will be treasured forever. - Each piece of wood has hand cut to create this unique geometric pattern - The Mahogany box has been inlaid with Paduak, hand-dyed Horse-chestnut, Zebrano and Mahogany - Lined with velvet to complement the natural Mahogany - Elegant brass finishings for smooth closure - Use FREESHIP for free shipping This beautiful wooden box is fantastic to store your jewellery and treasures when you're not wearing them. The geometric pattern and colours lend themselves to look equally as good placed on a desk or study and are synonymous with the Italian New Modernist Era of Gio Ponti and Piero Fornasetti. We are able to create inserts in the box to serve the purpose you would like to use it for. For example add watch rolls or a divider. Please get in touch with myself, Gabriella and I will be happy to help. Dating from the 15th century the 'Art of Marquetry' originated in Sorrento, Italy, where our pieces are made. The technique has remained unchanged over the centuries. Marquetry, or in Italian "Intarsia" is created by layering various sheets of wood of different colours, fastened one on top of the other. About the Annellino Fine Jewellery In a small market town south of Rome, overlooked by the Apennine mountains, lies a magical workshop seeping 150 years of history. It is here, goldsmith Giuseppe first introduced Gabriella Turner to the world of handcrafted, Italian fine jewellery. Cherishing the importance of nurturing Italian culture, artisan craftsmanship and sustaining the ancient crafts that are under pressure in Italian society today, Gabriella was inspired to establish Annellino Fine Jewellery. Working closely with the Italian craftsmen, Gabriella brings unique contemporary designs set in 18ct gold and crowned with a precious stone to London. Each piece painstakingly designed and created to the highest of standards using traditional techniques that their Italian ancestors have used for generations before, including hand cutting raw rocks (a rarity in the industry today) and using the art of Lost Wax Casting in which each hand cut precious stone is set. In recent years Gabriella has been fortunate enough to meet other artisans one of which has led to the commissioning of 'Intaglio' jewellery boxes to complement her pieces.
