Wooden Box with Carved Lid and Secret Lock
Product Information
Delicately decorated Fair Trade wooden box with a secret lock - perfect for jewellery and all your precious items.
It has been hand carved from Sheesham wood, which is sustainable and part of the Rose wood family. This wood is durable and fast growing, reaching maturity in only 15-20 years, compared to 80-90 years for hardwoods such as Teak.
The secret is the almost invisible sliding panel at the front of the base which, when pushed to the left, opens up the box. The lid is hinged, utilising two discrete brass hinges at the back.
Inside, there is one main compartment which has a dark brown, velvet-effect base. The walls to the inside of the box are of natural Sheesham wood. This is a high quality, crafted item.
This Fair Trade wooden box was handmade in India. Most carvers are Muslims and you can see this influence in the patterns of brass inlay and "jali" carving in many of our items.
Dimensions - width 22 cm x height 6 cm x depth 14 cm approx.
