Metropolitan Jewellery Box

Based upon Richard Morris’ original design of 1902, the box is made primarily in Swiss pear and cherry with grey sycamore, rosewood and ebony inlays. The box features carved Corinthian columns and mouldings, and a secret hiding place for the key within the framework of the roof – a true demonstration of precision and craftsmanship.

The main roof of the building lifts to reveal compartments for storing precious jewels. Hidden within is an additional secret storage space for particularly special pieces, a fitting purpose for a box inspired by of one the greatest treasure troves of artefacts in the world.

The making of an architectural box involves the use of many key English cabinet making techniques and requires a high degree of skill and accuracy.
