Jewellery box - Thuja root - Thuya Burl Box

This box is a truly exceptional piece, entirely handmade in genuine thuya burl, one of the most precious and sought-after woods in the world, sourced exclusively from Morocco.

The natural grain of the burl is striking: speckling, small knots and swirls in deep amber, honey, copper and mahogany tones. These patterns are neither painted nor drawn: they are the natural marks of the burl, presented as they appeared in the wood. The contrast with the iridescent reflections of mother-of-pearl gives the box a character that is both warm and precious.

Thuya burl is a genuine rarity. It grows slowly in the stump and roots of old trees, often hundreds of years old, and it takes decades, even centuries, to reach a size sufficient to be worked. Only a tiny portion of trees produce it, making it a rare, limited material and increasingly hard to find.

Another advantage: natural thuya has a warm and pleasant natural fragrance that gently scents its contents and surroundings. An authentic scent, unique to this noble wood, that endures over time.
