This handcrafted elm wood storage box incorporates an old Chinese carved wooden panel depicting a ram, preserving the original patina, traces of age and hand-carved detail of the reclaimed piece. The warm, understated elm surround has been newly made to complement rather than compete with the character of the original panel.
The carved panel forms part of a sliding lid, which can be moved aside to reveal the storage compartment beneath. Compact and practical, the box is ideal for storing tea accessories, jewellery, stationery or other small objects, while also working beautifully as a decorative piece in its own right.
By bringing an old architectural or furniture fragment into a newly crafted object, the piece gives traditional Chinese craftsmanship a new function in contemporary everyday life. The natural wear and variations of the reclaimed panel are part of its history and make each piece unique.
