Celtic Ogham Lidded Box
A work of art can celebrate beauty, elegance, time, emotion and communicate. We believe we have expressed all of these in this hand-carved lidded box with etched intricate patterns and contrasting warm waving colors; an ode to an earlier time with this vessel that was inspired by Viking kings and queens.
This lidded box was handmade from a solid block of our Sapele wood stock. The finial was carved from Hard Maple wood, hand etched, and then hand painted using a metallic silver and gold. Inside, you’ll find a copper Celtic knot inlay surrounded by dyed black epoxy which represents a wax seal that might have been used at that time. The wood grain has stunning, flowing reddish and brownish ribbons. We finished this piece with a matte sheen that is not only gorgeous and durable, but feel great to the touch.
