Up for sale is a beautiful, highly collectible vintage studio craft jewelry box handcrafted by renowned California artist Dean Santner.
***It is a beauty as is, but if you are a perfectionist and think of having it rewaxed
Known for his iconic, organic "Rock Box" designs, Santner beautifully balances sculptural geometry with the natural flow of premium wood grains. This particular piece is expertly carved from solid Koa Wood, highly celebrated for its rich golden-honey color, shimmering chatoyancy, and striking contrasting grain lines.
Key Features & Design Details:
- Authentic Signature: Clearly hand-signed in black script on the top lid by the artist: "Dean Santner".
- Premium Construction: Features precision hidden brass cylinder hinges that allow the lid to flip open seamlessly while maintaining a smooth, unbroken exterior silhouette.
- Pristine Interior: Completely lined in its original, jet-black felt across both the top and bottom inner cavities. The fabric is immaculately clean with no stains, jewelry marks, or fading.
- Sculptural Profile: Measures approximately 9 inches long, 4.5 inches wide, and stands a fraction of 2 inches tall when closed.
***I do have a larger one with a drawer if you're interested just message me and I will put it up for sale.
Condition Report:
This piece is in excellent vintage condition and has been exceptionally well-preserved.
- The Koa wood retains its original lustrous, smooth studio finish with a warm, natural glow.
- The hidden brass hinges are sturdy, flush, and operate perfectly.
- There are no major scratches, dents, cracks, or repairs. There is one tiny, shallow natural wood indentation/fleck on the side rim edge (visible under close inspection in photos), which is entirely consistent with hand-sculpted organic woodwork.
