MJ's handcrafted Rococo Treasure Chest is covered in our Green Algae silk velvet with a deep red silk dupioni interior. The box side is formed from a product called timtex, making it possible for the festooned garland to be embroidered symetrically, allowing for precision placement for each stitch.
The treasure chest measures 6 1/2" wide and 3 1/2" deep, standing about 3" tall. The festooned garland and medallion-shaped top center piece is comprised of Wild Poppy, Coral Rose, Candy Apple and Tomato silk ribbons for the roses, accented with Willow for the leaves. Evening Sage silk ribbon is fluted at the base edge while draped and pleated at the top edge.
This box was originally designed for Vogue Patterns #9165, but as the instructions became too involved, it was not included. Indeed, it is a very special treasure chest.
This one-of-a-kind piece will arrive with a petite booklet included, signed and dated by MJ, that describes the treasure chests intricacies and unique qualities as written here. The construction and finishing used to create this rectangular-shaped box is of couture quality.
