This must have been the kind of jewelry boxes the queens used! It is exotic and has a definite royal aura about it. The best of two continents come together in the JB-12 Macassar Ebony Jewelry Box. It’s a blend of solid Macassar ebony from Asia, of which the body and lid are made, and African Gaboon ebony that goes into the legs, knobs and frame. The tray inside is done in cherry wood from USA. Every bit of wood that has gone into the box has retained its natural color. The chestnut burl veneer lid, which gives the impression of a scorching flame trapped under the lid is bound to capture the eyes. The conspicous snakewood knobs and the wenge frame contribute to make the lid all the more stunning. The box owes its luster to the oils and waxes hand-rubbed into it. It stands proudly on the ebony legs mortised into the mitered corners.
Open the lid and more pleasant surprises greet you. Elegant wooden dividers nestling on the tan suede cloth make sure that your prized jewelry pieces are properly categorized. The entire effect is, in one word, magnificent. The 14×10x4 jewelry box is a true work of art. The JB-12 Macassar Ebony Jewelry Box has a price tag of $999.
All having said and done, I can’t help wondering if this box doesn’t negate the idea of afforestation to some extent.
