Square Box Mushroom Design Maroon 15x17.5x8cm

A square mango wood box in deep maroon, dressed with a mushroom motif in enamel. It sits at 15 × 17.5 × 8 cm, generous enough to hold a small collection of jewellery, keepsakes, or folded notes, yet compact enough for a bedside table or a shelf.

What catches the eye

• The maroon ground is rich and even, with the enamel work sitting cleanly against it, the mushroom design has a folk-art quality, unhurried and hand-finished in feel.
• Mango wood gives the box a solid weight in the hand (around 758 g), with a warmth that painted or lacquered MDF simply doesn't have.
• The square form and flat lid make it easy to stack or display alongside other objects without looking cluttered.
• The enamel decoration catches light differently depending on the angle, flat in shade, quietly lustrous in natural light.

Mango wood and enamel

Mango wood is a byproduct of the fruit industry in India, trees are felled once they stop bearing fruit, so using the timber is a practical form of resourcefulness rather than a drain on forest stock. It is a dense, close-grained hardwood that takes paint and lacquer well, which is why it has become a staple of Indian decorative woodwork. The enamel detailing is applied over the painted ground, giving the mushroom motif its slightly raised, jewel-like finish.

Placement and care

Keep it away from prolonged damp and direct heat, both of which can cause the wood to shift over time. Wipe the exterior with a dry or barely damp cloth; avoid soaking the surface or using abrasive cleaners, which would dull the enamel. It sits well on a dresser, a bedside table, or a bookshelf, anywhere a small, considered object earns its place.

Size and what's in the box

External dimensions: 15 cm wide × 17.5 cm deep × 8 cm tall. Weight approximately 758 g. The box arrives as shown, no additional contents.

A considered gift

It suits someone who collects small things carefully, rings, earrings, folded letters, a favourite pen. The mushroom motif gives it a quiet personality that makes it feel chosen rather than generic, and the solid weight of it makes it feel like something worth keeping.

Common questions

Is the interior lined?
The lining material is not specified in the product details. The photo shows the exterior; if interior finish matters to you, it is worth checking before purchase.

How does the lid close?
The closure type is not confirmed in the verified details, the lid appears to be a lift-off or hinged style from the photo, but we cannot confirm the mechanism with certainty.

Is the enamel durable for everyday use?
Enamel on wood is decorative rather than hardwearing in the way kiln-fired ceramic enamel is. Treat the surface with care, avoid scratching or stacking heavy objects on the lid, and it will hold its finish well.
