Trilogy Jewel Box

Theo Fabergé’s TRILOGY JEWEL BOX is crafted in makah burl, with luxuriously lined jewel compartments. The burl wood grows on a makah tree, and its irregular nature lets it display a strong, decorative grain. Expertly cut, joined, and polished, it is interspersed with panels of hand-painted fine bone china.

The art of ceramic hand-painting is one of refined dedication, involving the application of colours that look entirely different in their initial state from how they appear after being high-fired into the ceramic glaze. Here, our artist depicts a still life on the cover of the Jewel Box: a pineapple, a succulent peach, a bunch of grapes, and a thrush’s nest full of eggs.

Open the box, and your surprise is revealed on three hand-decorated panels; an opportunist mouse eats the grapes, the thrush eats the pink peach, and a crafty lizard steals the eggs!

The three scenes explain our title ‘Trilogy ', and one of the eggs bears Theo Fabergé’s personal monogram. Your individual key and silken tassel secure this gem of artistry allied with the rare, polished burl - a perfect adornment for a special gift, representing the opportunities of life.
