David W. Crothers ~ Custom Woodcarving Artisan

Custom Design 3 ~ Style B

This box was designed to commemorate the Christening of a grandchild. Following a family tradition of having a unique box carved for each grandchild and presented on their Christening date (9 boxes in this family to date!), the motif generally has a nautical flavor. (The grandfather is a Nautical Antiques dealer.) Each box, however, has had a different Latin inscription - the message of which is explained in the provenance.

A Style 'B' box, 8¼" x 12¾" x 5" H, it has a single tray of six compartments inside. The box is constructed of linden.
