Square Box Mushroom Design Maroon 15x17.5x8cm

• 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 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.

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.

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

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.
