My newest clamshell box was so much fun to work with. Queen Victoria commissioned a book to be created after her husband’s death, of a collection of stories about his life. This particular copy “Early Years of the Prince Consort” was signed by the queen herself in 1867.
I love the classic look of linen, and used that to match the cover. I laser engraved the board before covering it with the bookcloth to match the Victoria and Albert insignia on the cover. The inside needed to be regal, elegant. Learning about Victoria through this project, I surprised my client with a drawing done of their wedding day placed on the item tray.
