Maria Santos - In the forest jewellery box

This box is handcrafted from the root of the Thuya tree and expertly french polished to enhance the full character of this exquisite burr. Thuya is a variety of fast growing conifer farmed under government licence with respect to the environment.

Pewter has an enduring quality and its malleability enables quite intricate repousse and chase techniques to be used.

No two pieces are exactly alike as no casting or pressing is involved. Each piece has been worked individually from her own designs. Much of the inspiration for these designs comes from the natural world and the flexibility of pewter enables her to recreate the beauty of nature in every small detail.

Dimensions: H12cm x W26 x D15.5cm
