Carved in the shape of a heart, this jewelry box is a constant reminder of love. Joseph Boateng works in African sese wood, carefully sculpting the decorative motifs that embrace the design.

Wild beauty grows strong with every branch and flower of a mysterious tree, rendering this box unique. Expertly hand-carved from walnut wood by M. Ayub, this box is a testimony of carving traditions that have excelled throughout time. Lined with velvet, the box features an inner panel dividing the box. The box also features a secret locking mechanism and can be opened by sliding the lower front panel of the box to the right side.

Following in his father's footsteps, M. Ayub sets out to craft furniture and decorative items of superior quality. He prefers to work with walnut wood due to its exceptional color and grain; it is also one of the strongest varieties of wood which makes it an excellent carving medium. Walnut trees grow mainly in Kashmir and take between two to three years to dry out completely. Ayub proudly states that he only hand-carves his products, uses no artificial colorings, and rubs the piece with an agate stone prior to applying a wax polish.

Elegant floral motifs on blue are painted by hand on the reverse sides of glass panes. This beautiful decorative chest is the work of Peruvian artisan Asunta Pelaez. With the appearance of a small dresser, the box features two drawers and a top compartment that can be used for storing small items.
