Handmade 11 x 7.75 x 5" Curly Maple Mitered Keepsake/Jewelry Box with Black Limba Lid and Accents

Overview A heirloom-quality, handcrafted keepsake box designed to protect and display treasured jewelry and mementos. Meticulously mitered corners, premium woods, and a careful blend of contrasting tones create a timeless statement piece for any dresser, dresser top, or keepsake shelf.

Key Features

  • Size: 11" long x 7.75" wide x 5" tall
  • Exterior: Moderately Figured Curly maple sides with a black limba lid and black limba miter splines
  • Lid lift: Black limba lid lift for smooth opening and subtle detail
  • Interior tray: Two-compartment tray made from ambrosia maple with a canary wood bottom
  • Tray hardware: Hemp twine wrap handle for a rustic, tactile pull
  • Hinges: Brass hinges that stop at 90 degrees for secure, open-position stability
  • Finish: Exterior lacquer for durable, high-gloss protection; interior finished with wood oil/wax for a warm, protective sheen
  • Lining: Green felt padding on the interior bottom and tray surfaces to cushion and complement the wood tones
  • Craft: Handmade, heirloom-quality construction with attention to precise joinery and finish

Materials

  • Exterior: Curly maple (sides) and black limba lid with black limba miter splines
  • Interior: Ambrosia maple tray with canary wood bottom
  • Hardware: Brass hinges; hemp twine wrap tray handle
  • Finishes: Exterior lacquer; interior oil/wax finish; green felt lining

Interior Layout

  • Two-compartment tray designed to organize jewelry, keepsakes, or small collectibles
  • Tray bottom and interior surfaces finished to protect items from moisture and wear
  • Green felt lining provides a soft, luxurious resting surface

Durability and Craftsmanship

  • Mitered construction delivers clean, seamless corners and a refined silhouette
  • Brass hinges are chosen for durability and a classic touch
  • Lacquer exterior finish guards against daily handling, while the oil/wax interior finish enhances wood depth and warmth
  • Handcrafted with attention to detail to ensure long-lasting heirloom quality

Care and Maintenance

  • Wipe exterior with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh cleaners
  • If needed, lightly buff interior with a soft cloth to maintain the oil/wax luster
  • Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods to preserve color and finish

Why This Box Stands Out

  • Striking material contrast: curly maple with black limba creates a sophisticated, contemporary look
  • Thoughtful interior design: two compartments, ambrosia maple, canary bottom, and green felt deliver both beauty and function
  • Heirloom quality: precise joinery, durable hardware, and premium finishes built to be treasured for generations

What’s Included

  • One handmade keepsake/jewelry box as described
  • No extra items are included beyond the box itself

Product Notes

  • Because this item is handmade, there may be natural variations in wood grain and color, which add to its unique character.
