Keep your little one's most treasured items in our luxurious and quaint box that captures the natural beauty of Ireland.
This delightful box has been created mainly from beech, with
ebony decorating the escutcheon and She-Oak bordering the lid. The soft warm dulcet orange and yellow tones of the she-oak inlays are reminiscent of beautiful Irish sunsets, while the Alternative Mother of Pearl dots shine playfully on the lid, beguiling the holder to look inside. The interior can be lined in 3 main suede colours - the traditional
Light Blue Suede for a baby boy (as above),
Dusky Pink for a girl or Natural
Ecru, suitable for any child.
Creative Stages
Our Little Irish Keepsake Box takes five full days to create and goes through several key stages before completion. It has been created from Beech that has been half blind dovetailed. Once the box lid has been created it is inlayed with Alternative Mother of Pearl dots and fine Sheoak banding. A matching Sheoak escutcheon is added to the box. The hinges, and lock are one of the last components to be added. All Hardware is solid brass.
The Keepsake Box receives several applications of hard wearing coating, which gives a long and lasting protective finish to fine wooden giftware. It is a finish similar to oiled wood in appearance but has the additional benefits of being heat and solvent resistant. Finally the box is waxed to give the ultimate smooth satin finish.
Personalisation
A small box with similar detailed work can be added to this particular keepsake box. A lift out tray can also be added if desired on request. The lid can also be pyrographed (burned) with a name, date of birth and/or other personal text on request for an additional fee.
The box shown above was pyrographed with the name 'Luke' on the top left hand
corner of the lid. An aged Certificate of Authenticity now comes with our Keepsake Box and can be personalised with around 25 words.
We are happy to discuss tailoring our box by offering a variety of other wood combinations and interiors.
The Personal Touch
To keep you up to date with how your box is progressing, we will send digital images via email at each main stage in its creation. We like to share the excitement, as a box develops, with new owners - it makes everything extra special!
Exterior Dimensions
(mm): Height 124 mm x Length 270 mm x Depth 165 mm
Unique Quality
Since wood is a natural resource, minor colour variations occur in all boxes, making each one unique!
Box Care
To ensure optimum pleasure from your Keepsake Box please clean with a soft dry cloth. If the exterior surface dulls gradually over time an application of natural wax, that is then buffed with a soft dry cloth, should be sufficient to bring back the sheen.
