Artisan carving a dragon motif

The Craft

From timber to heirloom

01

Selection

Each chest begins with a single hand-picked hardwood, chosen for figure, density and grain.

02

Carving

Master carvers draw the dragon into the timber by hand — a process of weeks, never machines.

03

Finishing

Tiles are cut, engraved and hand-painted; wood is oiled and polished to a deep lustre.

04

Assembly

Brass fittings, felt linings and fitted drawers are set by hand, then inspected against a single standard: forever.

Care Instructions

Caring for your heirloom

Wood

Dust with a soft dry cloth. Keep from direct sunlight and radiators. Re-oil annually with the provided balm.

Tiles

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth; never submerge. Store in their drawers away from humidity.
