Cherry Jewelry cabinet, 24" x 16" x 12"
with three drawers and four sliding panels, $3800
 |
Here shown on an optional stand,this cabinet is built to accommodate a large collection of jewelry. It stands 24" high, (55" on stand), 16" wide, and 11" deep. It is designed to sit upon a desk, (or the optional stand),or low vanity .( I can build a stand for the cabinet so it can free stand. This option will add $300-350 to the price, depending on the species.) Though simpler in terms of adornment than most of my other work, the spectacular woods , offset by ebony accents, makes for a breathtaking piece of furniture (see below for other wood choices). Weeks of design and prototype development have gone into these jewelry armoires, in the effort to do well what many, mostly cheap imported "jewelry armoires" do poorly. As beautiful as they are, the emphasis is on functionality, and those that have seen the cabinets have called them a marvel of engineering. These jewelry chests house an enormous number of necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings and other favorites, and allow for easy perusal and access of every single piece. No more tangled piles, or searching through crowded boxes. Behind its lockable double doors, the jewelry cabinet features three large drawers, and four pullout panels. All out of stock-- I'll be making more early in 2008. Reserve yours now! | |||||||||||||||||||

| The panels, 11'"deep by 13" tall, allow the ideal storage of jewelry items that are best hung : necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. This allows the most accessible and tangle-free placement of pieces not ideally suited for traditional jewelry boxes. The panels are suspended on a double glide system that allows them to be pulled entirely forward of the cabinet enclosure, and then pivoted, providing perfect visual and manual access to both sides of each panel. One panel houses ten rows of earring holders, each containing space for 7-14 pairs of earrings. A total of 72 ebony rods, with two rows on each side of one panel, and a single row on the two others, provide hanging room for necklaces and bracelets. The necklace and bracelet panels also feature a padded well at their bottoms, so extra-long pieces can be hung and their excess length can be securely held. The drawers are 14" wide and 10 " deep, and are graduated in depth from 1 1/2' to 2". The top drawer has two long compartments, either or both of which can be fitted with ring pads, and 16 small cubbies. The middle drawer has two long compartments which can be fitted with ring pads, and four 4" x 5" compartments, and the bottom drawer is separate into two large areas for bulkier items. I can add additional divisions per your request to any of the drawers. For additional photos of the cherry version, click on above photos or here.

The cabinet incorporates both solid wood and veneered
panels , with both thicker shop-sawn veneers, and commercial veneers,
and all edges either contained in solid wood frames, or edged in
solid wood bandings. This provides for solid wood durability and
resistance to dents and other hazards of daily life, with the stability
of veneered panels necessary to keep a cabinet with many moving
parts functioning smoothly for generations. Wood sliding on wood
is the key to this jewelry cabinet's functionality, with all the
moving parts meticulously fitted, tested and trimmed for the delicate
balance that creates a smooth, satisfying action. Wood sliding on
wood was once the hall mark of cabinet-making, before the introduction
of CNC routers, the demands of the global economy, and the obsessive
quest for speed and profits cheapened what now passes as "high-end"
craftsmanship, to the point that an entire generation of Americans
have never experienced the friendly intimacy of a skillfully hand-fitted
piece of fine woodworking .
Polished brass hardware unobtrusively finishes off the chores of hinging and latching, with all hardware fully mortised into the wood. The jewelry cabinet is available in cherry, in koa, in bubinga, and in macassar ebony, all with gaboon ebony accents. The frame and panel doors are constructed of bookmatched veneered panels contained in mitred frames, with an inlaid ebony bead at the panels edge, sculpted ebony pulls, and an inlaid ebony escutcheon for the keyhole to the working lock.
