First Glance Wooden Box

$283.00

A solid wood print box with a clear acrylic lid that slides open.

A print box cut from solid wood with nothing applied over it, made in landscape format to hold your mounted prints. The lid is clear acrylic and slides in a groove cut along the wood itself, so the first photograph is visible before the box is opened. Your names are engraved into the acrylic rather than the wood.

“Solid wood, left as it is, with the grain and the knots showing. The names sit on the lid and the photograph sits underneath, and looking down through the acrylic the two read as one picture.”

Care and Materials

The wood is left bare, so the grain and knots differ from piece to piece. Dust it with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid water, sprays and household polish. Clean the acrylic with a soft microfibre cloth only; rough cloths and glass cleaner can scratch or cloud it.

Handle the prints by their edges with clean, dry hands, and keep the box closed and away from direct sunlight, heat and damp.

  • 12 × 9″ Landscape (30.5 × 22.9 cm)
How many prints does it hold?

The box holds 30 to 60 of your prints, mounted, and the prints are included with the box. A small complimentary keepsake from us is included too.

Every print is made with archival photographic printing and mounted, so each one holds its shape in the box. The first photograph shows through the clear lid before the box is opened.

What is the box like?

The box is solid wood with nothing applied over it, so the grain and knots show and no two boxes are the same. The clear acrylic lid slides in a groove cut along the wood.

Your names are engraved into the clear acrylic lid, so they sit above the first photograph. You choose the typeface and the wording: names, initials, a date, a place, or a line of your own.

The Cover

A cover chosen to be handled

Every cover is chosen for how it feels as much as how it looks: wood with a grain of its own, velvet with a soft, deep pile, supple leather that wipes clean, khadar with its hand-spun weave, or your own photograph printed edge to edge.

The Prints

Prints made to be passed around

Every print is made with archival photographic printing and arrives inside the box, ready to lift out, sort and share.

Made Personal

Your names, your words

Every piece carries your names or a line of your own: initials, a date, a place, or words only the two of you understand. You choose the typeface, and depending on the design it is engraved, stamped in foil, raised, set on a wooden nameplate or printed. Features and Details shows where yours will sit.
