LV-4206 Sappanwood & Black Palm Acorn Ring Box, Pill Box, Gift Box-SCREW CAP

LV-4206 Sappanwood & Black Palm Acorn Ring Box, Pill Box, Gift Box-SCREW CAP

$ 98.00


This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Sappanwood (Caesalpina sappan) with Black Palm (Borassus flabellifer) cap. Related to Brazilian Pernambuco, Asian Sappanwood was a once popular export wood in the 17th century, but seldom seen now-a-day. The wood has many uses, beside being a lustrous timber with red orange hue. It possesses antibacterial and anticoagulant properties for medicinal application. It also produces a reddish dye called brazilin, used for dyeing fabric and making red paints and inks. The tree is also a beautiful ornamental with panicles of yellow flowers. I managed to obtain a few pieces this wood only once and have never seen it for sale again.  The black palm's unique pattern cap adds visual interest to this bright acorn. 

A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap makes this nature inspired box extra special and ensures that your content is secured, good for jewelry, keepsake... Through the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
