Intended as a fine wedding gift. The bride and groom write each other a note expressing why they chose each other as a mate,
which is then locked inside the box with the wine and glasses. The bride and groom each get a key. On each anniversary,
(or prior to a break-up!), they open the box, read the notes and toast each other.
This is a solid black Walnut box with walnut/holly inlays. All hand made (including the inlays). Flawlessly sealed and finished
with a hand-rubbed french polish (shellac, and oil). Then a coat of hand-wiped polyeurethane for lasting durability and protection.
The hardware is solid brass (except for the lock mechanism, which is steel), and the inside is lined with red ultra-suede.
This is a strong box with tight and flawless joinery, designed to last a lifetime.
Approximate dimensions: 14" X 12" X 4-1/4"
Glasses are included, but not the bottle of wine. The wine can be bought at "Total Wine," or other speciality wine stores.
This is a unique box, for sale at $490.00     (Shipped ONLY in the US or Canada)
This particular box has been sold.
I will take orders for a similar box, at a similar price, made with your choice of woods, inlays, and other modifications.
Turn-around time would normally take about a month. If you are interested in such a box, please call Matt at 704-221-2147.
