With a foundation of solid Mahogany, Sapelle veneer was applied to the case sides and upper molding stack, grain matched Mottled Makore veneer applied across all drawers and pullouts, and grain matched Mahogany Crotch Veneer applied to the doors and lid.

 

In addition to the 4 lingerie drawers in the lower section, there are 14 jewelry drawers above.  Two pullouts were designed and built to accommodate the clients desire to store matching Necklace, Bracelet, and earring sets.  One pullout was devoted to storing just earrings. And one pullout was devoted to Necklaces and Bracelets.

All fourteen jewelry drawers were fitted with unique partitions made from solid Bubinga.  The drawers, as well as the compartment under the lid, were all lined with velvet.

Unable to locate suitable commercial hardware to support the lid, a custom hand-made support was fabricated from solid brass stock.
