Life is a rose

"There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted" 

- Henri Matisse

Today we are featuring our classic Rose Jewellery box. The Sepia Rose Photo used is exclusive to the deco collection and was actually shot right in our back yard! The box is approximately 30 x20cm and has a dainty brass clip to close it.  Our jewellery box is finished off with a high gloss for that added protection.
