A work of art can celebrate beauty, elegance, time, and emotion. We believe we have expressed all of these in this hand-carved lidded box with etched intricate patterns and contrasting warm colors; an ode to an earlier time with this vessel that was inspired by Viking kings and queens.
This lidded box was carved from a solid block of our Sapele wood stock. The finial was carved from Hard Maple Wood, hand etched, and then hand painted using a metallic silver and gold. Inside, you'll find a copper Celtic knot inlay surrounded by dyed black epoxy which represents a wax seal that might have been used at that time. The wood grain has stunning, flowing reddish and brownish ribbons. We finished this piece with a matte sheen that is not only gorgeous but is store also durable.
This bowl is not recommended for use with food aside from wrapped candy, but will serve as a stunning decorative showpiece in any room. The size of the bowl is approximately 5” inches tall to finial top, 7” inches in diameter, 1 1/8” inches in bowl depth, and 5 1/2” diameter bowl inside. The center Celtic knot inlay is 1 1/8” inches in diameter and the finial is approximately 3 3/8” tall. This gorgeous piece would make a fabulous gift or family heirloom.
