Satinwood
Whilst very few Victorian boxes were ever fully veneered in Satinwood, box makers often used this opulent and expensive wood to decorate or ‘accent’ areas of the box’s interior instead. Satinwood (Ceylon Satinwood) is a native of Southern India and Sri Lanka and has an illuminating, shimmery yellow/ gold appearance. It was more commonly used in combination with Coromandel to create a dramatic contrast.
