Wooden Boxes-Mont Blanc

Decorative wooden boxes

Wooden boxes come in all shapes and sizes.

In my version these three boxes on legs and with lids  belong together.
The wooden boxes run from large to small and fit exactly together. This creates a turret of boxes.
Because the boxes stand on legs, a transparency is created in the whole.

Painted pattern

Because they are painted with the same pattern, they unmistakably belong together. Despite the difference in color use running from dark to light.

Together these wooden boxes represent the Mont Blanc.

The Mont Blanc (French for white mountain) is the highest peak of the Alps, in the Mont Blanc massif named after him. The Mont Blanc is 4807.81 meters high, including the snow on the top.

In my presentation of this mountain, it rises from the valley, where there is no snow in the summer.
With straight roads of dark colored asphalt in the flat valley.
Via the rolling hills the mountain slowly builds up to the steep mountain walls to the peak of the mountain.

Decorated boxes

The level of Mont Blanc can be read in each box from the painting on the inside.
From the gently sloping valley it ascends step by step to the steep peaks at the top of the mountain.

The earth tones are gradually replaced by the cool silver color of the eternal snow.

On the outside is a diamond pattern that gets bigger from top to bottom. Like snowflakes that seem to get bigger as they flutter down.

Unique boxes

Small crystal stones reflect the sparkle in the snowflakes.
The buttons to open the lid are made of mountain crystal braided in silver wire.

The bottoms of the boxes are lined.
The largest box with black leather, the middle box with brown suede. The small box is lined with a white rabbit skin.
