Marquetry in eight woods

Poppy Box

A red poppy in marquetry, on a box of smoked eucalyptus.

Story of the piece

Poppy Box

Wood preserves what time cannot erase.

Since ancient times, the Poppy has been associated with sleep and rest. But it was in lands marked by war that this flower found its deepest symbol: the silent tribute to those who departed in the First World War.

It opens in the morning and wilts when the sun sets. And it always reblooms, resilient, red. Even in lands scarred by history.

Jacky Cavallari graduated from the École Boulle and is today one of the few living masters of Marquetry - the art that brings colour, texture and life to wood. With the precision that time does not hasten.

For this Smoked Eucalyptus box, the craftsman chose eight woods, such as green-stained Sycamore, orange-stained Maple and red-stained Tulipwood, and with them, composed the Poppy. Veneer upon veneer, using the same traditional marquetry technique used in the 18th century.

A box to store memories. Those we must not forget.
