PHOTO FRAME - MAGNIFYING GLASS - LETTER OPENER

Some commissions begin as a puzzle: what do you give the person who has almost everything?
Our answer was to design and create a one-of-a-kind Desk Set in fumed Eucalyptus, its grain deep and smoky, framed with hand-carved, cast-bronze details and lined in superb hand-stitched leather. The pieces feel purposeful in the hand: a paper tray with quiet authority, a cast bronze leaf handled letter opener, sleek and wonderful in the hand, a Bronze leaf handled magnifying glass that catches the light and functions perfectly, and a photo frame to hold a moment you never want to forget.

There are secrets too. Tiny messages etched in places only the owner will find, a private smile in metal and wood. Each piece is presented in its own felt envelope; the whole ensemble nestled inside a finely made timber box.

A gift not of things, but of daily ceremony. Hand made with love to be used, noticed, and passed on to future generations.
