http://hygra.com/box/156WB-hygra
A mahogany writing box veneered in coromandel and inlaid in mother of pearl, abalone shell and brass and copper.
The exotic horsemen are an unusual theme. The work is executed skillfully, utilizing the color and light values of the shells to create a sense of movement.
The box is immaculately finished inside, and out, the coromandel facings are punctuated with mother of pearl dots.
Quality work with a very smooth look which betrays dependence on mechanical processes.
