Unique Gifts Keepsake Boxes

I have started creating beautiful hand-painted wooden keepsake boxes and platters. Each one is unique and can also do commissioned designs to celebrate special occasions for the special people in your life. Perfect for a birthday, wedding, anniversary or birth.
The boxes are mostly vintage, some with little locks and keys. Each one is hand-painted with layers of water-based paint, given a distressed finish. The insides of the boxes are also finished with burnished golds or pastels. Prices start from £25.

Available on-line here, or contact us with any specific requests.
