Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Moroccan Keepsake Jewelry Box in Thuya Burl Wood with Inlays and Marquetry.
Exotic Thuya wood (Tetraclinis articulata), orange wood, and mother-of-pearl details. Handcrafted marquetry and artisanal turning.
Exclusive rectangular jewelry or collectibles box manufactured in exotic Thuya Burl, widely recognized for its characteristic knots and strongly contrasting spiral patterns. The hinged top displays a superb and meticulous geometric and central floral marquetry, with inlays in contrasting woods (such as orangewood) and small polished mother-of-pearl accents. The side tops of the lid feature an elegant inlay pattern in dark and light vertical bands. The fully polished interior preserves the iconic natural resinous fragrance (cedar-like) typical of this North Africa botanic variety. A decorative piece of high technical quality, ideal for collectors of decorative art boxes or marquetry.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
