Product Description

The Silvia Furmanovich box collection is constructed from native sustainable Brazilian wood in the rainforests and decorated with intricate hand cut marquetry. The Asprey workshops have handcrafted sterling silver hinged border edges to join the lid and base together. The inside of each box is made of smooth polished wood, ensuring a multitude of uses, from jewellery, to precious memorabilia, photographs or family papers. These prestigious boxes would make ideal company or government gifts. A silver plaque for engraving could be easily attached to the inside of the lid for an inscription by our workshops. The collaboration between Silvia Furmanovich and Asprey is truly one of a kind, bringing Brazilian and British traditional craftmanship together.

The theme of the collection is Giants of the Amazon. The four motifs featured in this collection are the largest of their species living or growing in the Amazon rainforest.

Blue Morpho Butterfly – with a wingspan of almost 8 inches, Blue Morpho butterflies are some of the largest in the world.

Kapok Tree - the largest variety of Kapok tree can grow up to 4 metres in one year and can reach heights of 50-60 metres making it the largest tree in the rainforest.

Hyacinth Macaw - at 1 metre long, the Hyacinth Macaw is the largest parrot in the world by length.

Giant Waterlily – Victoria Amazonica is the largest of the Nymphaeaceae family of water lilies, with leaves measuring up to 3 metres (10 feet) in diameter.

The marquetry details are created using a lengthy process of assembling hand-cut wood veneer created from found materials in the forest. Artisans, source coloured wood that they reclaim, thereby making the process sustainable. A proprietary system of washing and soaking the wood in water and minerals, enhancing its existing colour naturally, allows for a variety of hues that is at once earthy and bold.

ASPREY MOMENTS

Asprey has a long and established relationship with British royalty dating back to the 1800s when Queen Victoria awarded Asprey their first Royal Warrant in 1862 for dressing cases, travelling bags, and writing cases. Since 1862, Asprey has held a Royal Warrant for every British monarch to Queen Elizabeth.
