Faux burl wood exterior, black-banded edges, full mirror in the lid, velvet-lined compartments — the jewellery box that earns a permanent spot on a dressing table rather than living in a drawer.
The Goring Jewellery Box is built on one of the most distinctive finishes in mid-century cabinetmaking — the swirling, honey-toned figure of burl wood. A faux burl wood exterior in warm caramel tones, edged with crisp black banding for contrast, opens to reveal a black velvet-lined interior with ring slots, divided compartments and a full mirror set into the lid. Generously proportioned at 30cm wide, the box has enough internal space for a daily-worn collection of rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets without forcing the kind of careful curating that smaller boxes demand. A piece that earns its place on a dressing table or chest of drawers as a quietly considered object rather than just storage.
What sets it apart
The detail that makes it different
Most jewellery boxes at this size and price point fall into one of two traps — fussy ornament that dates quickly, or stripped-back plain wood that feels generic. The Goring sits between them. The faux burl finish brings the visual interest of a mid-century desk accessory — Italian designers like Tobia Scarpa and Gae Aulenti used burl wood for exactly this reason — and the crisp black edge banding gives the silhouette graphic discipline rather than letting it read as merely decorative. Inside, the velvet lining is fitted with the right slots and compartments to actually store jewellery properly rather than just leaving it loose: a strip of paired slits for rings along the back, divided sections for earrings and bracelets, and an open compartment for larger pieces. The full lid mirror means the box doubles as a small vanity station when you're putting jewellery on — practical detail that's easy to take for granted until you have it.
Style on a dressing table or bedroom chest of drawers, or use as a desk accessory in a study or home office. Also makes a particularly thoughtful gift — birthdays, anniversaries, milestone occasions — when paired with a piece of jewellery to live inside it.
The interior is fully lined in black velvet. A strip of paired slits along one edge holds rings upright; divided compartments separate earrings, bracelets and smaller pieces; and there's an open compartment for larger items like statement necklaces or watches. The full mirror is set into the underside of the lid, useful when putting jewellery on.
Is the burl wood real?
The exterior is a faux burl finish on an MDF construction — finished to read like the warm, figured grain of real burl wood at a fraction of the cost. True burl wood is rare and prohibitively expensive in furniture at this scale; the faux finish gives you the look and feel of a high-end vintage accessory at a sensible price.
Will it hold a substantial collection?
Yes — the 30cm × 20cm internal footprint accommodates a substantial daily-worn jewellery collection. For very large collections (extensive necklace or bracelet stacks), you may want to pair this with a second box or wall-mounted hanger for the larger pieces; for most people, a single Goring is more than sufficient.
How do I care for it?
Wipe the exterior gently with a soft dry cloth — avoid wet cleaners and polishes, which can damage the lacquered burl finish. For the velvet interior, lift dust with a soft brush or a quick blast from a cool hairdryer on low. Keep the box away from direct sunlight, which can fade both the wood finish and the velvet over years.
