Today, I want to tell you about our Large Jewelry Chest.
We call it the "Sophisticated Jewelry Chest"
This jewelry chest has been a cornerstone of our offerings since the inception of Mikutowski Woodworking, evolving over time to enhance both its functionality and aesthetic appeal.
From its earliest days, the large jewelry chest has undergone several transformations. One of the first significant updates was the addition of a drawer, providing even more space for organizing precious items.
This practical enhancement was complemented by the introduction of our signature curved self-raising tray, a feature that combines elegance with ease of use.
To add a touch of artistic flair and reinforce the structure, we incorporated Wenge splines. These dark wood accents not only enhance the chest’s durability but also create a striking contrast with the lighter wood, highlighting the complex craftsmanship. Learn about splines here
Another aesthetic improvement was the addition of feet, which elevate the chest, giving it a more refined and sophisticated appearance.
The design of our jewelry chest has evolved from a more boxy shape to the sleek, slightly curved silhouette you see today. This transformation was a meticulous process, involving several variations and refinements until we achieved the perfect balance of form and function.
A key aspect of our commitment to quality is how we order our lumber. We meticulously select and use a single piece of wood for the front and sides of each chest, ensuring a seamless and harmonious appearance. This dedication to detail is evident in the stunning continuation of the grain patterns and natural beauty of each piece.
Adding to the uniqueness of each batch, we include SELECTS, which feature rare and uncommon wood species, unique figuring, or special inlays and laminations. These SELECT pieces are truly one-of-a-kind, making each jewelry chest a unique work of art. Once these special editions are sold, they cannot be replicated, adding to their exclusivity and value.
Here are some of the exceptional large jewelry chests from our SELECT Collection:
