The Art of Damascene Wooden Boxes
Keepsakes, jewellery guardians and story-keepers — why the humble box is the heart of the craft.
Ask a Damascene artisan what defines the craft and many will point to the box. It is where every technique meets: carving, turning, mosaic marquetry, pearl inlay, lining and clasp — all in an object small enough to hold in two hands.
A Damascene box is rarely just storage. It is where jewellery sleeps, where letters are kept, where the sweets arrive at a celebration. The lid's geometry is a quiet promise that what is inside matters.
Our boxes range from classic mosaic star patterns to fully pearl-dressed chests, and many can be personalised with names or dates — making them the most gifted pieces in our collection.
