Decorative wooden box with carved floral design motif. Made in Europe from seasoned Linden wood. Skilled artisans apply centuries old traditions of hand-craftsmanship with the use of feathered joints, raised interior lining and recessed hinges to create a lasting heirloom.
The box is constructed in the medieval tradition, with no metal fasteners. Sides are held together with miter-and-spline joints 45 degree edges joined with thin rectangular wooden pegs and glue. The box has an unfinished wooden interior preserving the wood's bright natural color and is lined with thin sheets of wood, which rise slightly above the bottom section. The "raised edge" makes gentle contact with the lid as it closes, giving the boxes a firm seal and causing an appealing muffled popping sound as they are opened or closed. The hinges are recessed into the back wall.
Measures 7.5" long, 4.75" deep and 2" tall
NOTE: If you like this item then you may want to add one of the Sigvat jewelry pieces referred to as "Floral design from Mangletre" because they use the same design motif.
