Welcome to Jackdaw Boxes

We restore and sell unique and antique wooden boxes that make great gifts for special occasions: Christmas, anniversaries, retirement, Valentines, rites of passage celebrations, births and birthdays, marriages, graduations and more.

They can become new and much prized family heirlooms.

They are ideal for storing precious, personal items and for creating memory boxes. Most have either their original working lock, or a new lock has been fitted.

Each of the boxes already has its own tangible history. Many of them date from the 19th or early 20th centuries, and so they carry the signs of time and use. Each box has been refurbished so it can be used for the decades ahead.

When the boxes were originally made, many hours were spent by expert craftsmen and women, using the available materials – beautiful wood with rich grain and colour; inlay - using brass, wood and shell; linings of leather and paper. In themselves, they are a "gift in time" from a long-ago world.

Some of the boxes are simple, others have intricate brass fittings, carved lids or secret drawers. All of them have their own immediate appeal, and it is almost impossible to pass by a box and not lift the lid or run your hand over the top. We hope you will enjoy looking at our boxes and will want to buy one for yourself or someone else.

We also offer a refurbishing service for similar objects, if you are in need of this.
