Inlaid Deck Box螺鈿 · Raden

A deep dark-walnut case sized to hold a deck of cards, ringed near the top by a band of iridescent shell inlay.

The lid lifts off with a close, quiet fit; the shell band is the one flourish against the dark grain.

• Solid dark walnut
• Iridescent shell-inlay band
• Lift-off lid
• Sized for a deck of cards
• Hard-wax oil finish

Modelled true, then made real at the bench. Expect small, honest variations — grain, tone, the exact grip of a lid — that mark a piece made by hand rather than pressed by a machine.

This workshop archive piece is currently out of stock and cannot be ordered. Its page remains available so the design and construction can still be viewed.
