Wooden Keepsake Box

$273.00

An album in a solid wood box, lifted out on a satin ribbon.

A photo album in a soft, lightly textured finish, with thick pages that hold their shape and open flat. It comes in a solid wood box, lined to match the cover, with a satin ribbon running beneath the album so it lifts out rather than being prised free. Your names sit on a slim wooden plate wrapped in the same finish as the cover, so the lettering reads as part of the surface rather than an addition.

“The box is solid wood and it is meant to be opened slowly. Pull the ribbon and the album rises out of it, the way something put away for safekeeping should.”

Care and Materials

The box is solid wood, so its grain varies slightly from piece to piece. Dust the box and the album cover with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid water, sprays and household polish.

Keep the album in its box when it is not on show, away from direct sunlight, heat and damp. Turn the pages by their edges.

How many pages can it have?

Every album has 24 to 80 pages. The prices shown are for 24 pages.

What are the pages like?

The pages are thick and rigid, and the album opens lay-flat, so a photograph can run across both pages without a gap. Every page is made with archival photographic printing.

What is the cover like?

The cover has a soft, lightly textured finish. The album sits in a solid wood box, lined to match the cover, with a satin ribbon running underneath so you lift the album out rather than prising it free.

How is it personalized?

Your names sit on a slim wooden plate wrapped in the same finish as the cover, so the lettering reads as part of the surface. 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 Pages

Built for how it will be used

Our boxed and cased albums, and the Signature Leather Wrap Album, have thick, rigid pages that open completely flat, so a photograph can run across both pages without a gap. Our other albums are hardbound, with pages printed on both sides. Features and Details tells you which this one is.

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.
