Penman's Box

About the Item

The Penman’s Box has been beautifully handcrafted in a combination of two woods, rippled ash and walnut, and is highlighted with nickel metal detailing. The box’s striking exterior is veneered in a rippled olive ash on the top half, whilst the lower half has been covered in a vertical Macassar ebony. The lid of the box features a porthole-inspired glass window which reveals the box’s contents from a bird’s-eye view. The lid has a locking device which opens to reveal radial slip-matched walnut accompanied by distinctive orange leather pen slots. The upper tier of the Penman’s Box features two removable trays and the lower tier features three walnut pen storage drawers which are opened with sleek push catches. In total, the box is designed to hold 32 pens. The base of the box features a hammered trompe l’oeil inspired detail which looks like a soft metal stand but is actually beautifully crafted and painted wood.

  • Modern Girih Treasure Chest Tall Cabinet in Satinwood Marquetry and Sycamore
    By LINLEY London
    Located in London, GB
    Back in October 2016, on one of his many travels to the Persian Gulf in his role as Honorary Chairman of Christie’s Europe Middle East, Russia and India, David Linley’s fascination with Islamic art and architecture was reignited. A photograph of a vibrant tile mosaic pattern was sent back to the LINLEY studio on Pimlico Road, inspiring the design of the spectacular Girih Treasure Chest. The Girih Treasure Chest explores Islamic pattern through detailed wooden marquetry in brilliant sapphire blue and rich gold tones. Girih is an Islamic decorative art form consisting of geometric lines that create an interlaced framework. As if a precious stone in a delicate claw setting, the chest perches on a simple sycamore frame which is supported by a forged brass metal stretcher. As the center of the design lies an eight-pointed star, taken from a beautiful mosaic tile pattern that caught the eye of LINLEY Founder and Chairman David Linley on a visit to Doha, Qatar back in October 2015. Adorning all façades of the chest, the pattern is created using a specially dyed deep blue ripple sycamore...
