The Keepsake Box – Royal was created to commission as a Wedding Gift for HRH Prince William & Catherine Middleton. Made from Native Sycamore, it includes 2 lift out trays divided into sections and covered in black lamb nappa.  Each tray front is inlaid with a crown. The keepsake box lid consists of 6 pieces of slip matched Ripple Sycamore running at an angle with the Royal monogram centred on the lid top.

Lid Decoration and Monogram

The marquetry monogram is created from dyed blue and boxwood veneers produced by Aryma UK and sand shaded to add depth. The lid border and escutcheon are made from black acetal, while the brass lock strike plates are handmade by us and the hinges produced to my specifications. The box was  finished using blonde shellac then waxed for a silky finish. (The Royal Wedding Box features in Furniture and Cabinetmaking – Ed 182, Aug 2011).
