Camellia Ivory Inlay Box with Dark Ribbed Border

A small ivory box edged in dark ribbing that holds keepsakes on a dresser and adds a crisp contrast to a shelf.

A small rectangular box with an ivory block inlay on the lid and sides, framed by a dark ribbed border at the top and base. It holds jewelry, cards or small desk items on a dresser, desk or shelf.

At 5 x 8 in it fits beside a lamp or inside a tray. The light and dark contrast works in transitional and traditional rooms. It keeps small items out of sight while still looking like decor.

Where to use it

• Writing desk: Holds stamps, cards and a few keepsakes in a small box with a dark border.
• Coffee table: Closes up remotes, coasters and chargers so the surface stays clean and the ivory inlay with a dark ribbed border adds a styled accent.
• Dresser or vanity: Holds jewelry, cufflinks and small keepsakes behind a lid.
• Office desk or credenza: Stores business cards, clips and cables in a box that looks like decor.

Planning notes

Place it on a tray with a candle for a dresser vignette, or on a shelf with books. The dark border gives definition against pale wood, while the ivory face keeps it soft.

Set the box on a tray or stack it under a small object so it reads as part of a grouping. The ivory inlay with a dark ribbed border gives a quiet base layer in a scheme built around texture. Place the box where you reach for its contents each day, such as a coffee table, nightstand or desk. Keep the lid clear of heavy objects so it can open easily, and use a small tray under it to protect the surface.

Who this is not for

• Not for outdoor use: we recommend it for indoor rooms.
• Not for heavy items: it is built for light keepsakes and small accessories.
• Not for loose food: we recommend dry storage only.

Care

Dust with a dry soft cloth. Avoid water and cleaning sprays, and keep it out of damp rooms and direct sun.
