Wooden boxes

 

Box -Key

 

TThis box with curved shapes highlights the natural lines of the wood
and pivots to reveal space for a precious key.

 

Box - Flower

 

This box, topped with a finely carved rose,
features three interior compartments.

 

 

 

Box - Horsham

 

 

The Horsham marquetry box symbolizes
the link that unites two communities on opposite sides of the world.
It is a handcrafted piece made from ash-olive wood, walnut, and sapele.

Several individuals contributed to the realization of this project, initiated by Mr. Sterlin.

The top features a checkerboard pattern adorned with a medallion depicting a dove
— a symbol of peace — crafted by Father André-Marie.

It opens to reveal a lectern bearing the inscriptions
“Vignacourt 1914” and “Horsham 2016”,
along with the words “Peace”, “Pax”, and “Paix”,
evoking the hardships of the First World War, the restoration of peace,
and the exchanges that took place one hundred years later.

Inside are two signature books,
entirely handcrafted by Mrs. Frédérique Deranty, an art bookbinder,
using traditional bookbinding techniques,
as well as a finely carved wooden quill.

In 2014, young citizens of Vignacourt, accompanied by Mrs. Lucile Werkin,
took part in the planting of a tree in Horsham,
demonstrating their commitment to remembrance and the transmission of memory.

Horsham is a rural town located on the banks of the Wimmera River, in the state of Victoria,
and is connected to the history of the Australian soldier Robert Edward Charles.
Several soldiers from this region are buried in Vignacourt.

 

Box - Game

Several wood species were used to create this limited-edition box. It was assembled using mortise-and-tenon joinery. The interlaced hearts and crosses in the marquetry are symbols of the Yotoy company, which designed this new board game.
