Square Mother of Pearl & Wood Inlay Jewellery Box — Floral Arabesque with Red Ribbon Pull

Handcrafted

A jewellery box of quiet luxury and exceptional surface quality, formed as a wide square vessel with softly rounded corners, entirely clad in hand-inlaid mother of pearl and dark wood marquetry across the lid and sides. The lid presents a dense floral arabesque composition — trailing vine scrolls, tulip heads, and leaf forms executed in dark chocolate wood against a ground of luminous ivory and champagne mother of pearl that shifts between white, gold, and pale rose as the light moves across it. The pattern flows continuously from the centre of the lid to its edges, the composition contained within a clean dark wood border that frames the piece with quiet formality.

The sides carry the same arabesque vocabulary in a continuous wrap of vine and leaf motifs, the mother of pearl ground providing a consistent luminosity across every face of the box. A red grosgrain ribbon pull is set into the lid seam — a practical and elegant detail that allows the box to be opened without disturbing the inlay. The construction is solid and precise, the rounded corners achieved with the kind of craftsmanship that distinguishes a handmade piece from a production object.

A box of this refinement belongs on a dressing table, a bedside surface, or a writing desk — an everyday object elevated to the status of a decorative piece, as pleasing to look at as it is to use.
