What a men's chain box has to do
A deep channel and a keeper. A heavy curb chain has enough mass to move anything that is not held.
The moment it is opened
Frequently bought as a gift by someone who has not seen the piece, which puts weight on the exterior.
The mistake we correct most often
Underestimating the mass. A heavy curb chain has enough weight to move anything that is not physically held, and it will mark a lining doing it.
Lacquered wood on a men's chain box, specifically
The mass of the box matches the mass of the piece. A heavy chain in a light box feels wrong in the hand, and this is the pairing that solves it.
What varies between versions
A deep single channel or a coiled seat. Coiling makes a much smaller box, which matters when a chain is long.
Why lacquered wood for this
A wood carcass built up in layers of lacquer and polished back to a piano finish. This is the heaviest and most formal thing we make.
Putting your logo on lacquered wood
Lacquer is engraved, or carries an inlaid metal plate. Foil does not bond reliably to a polished lacquer surface.
Cutting the interior in lacquered wood
The interior is a separate lined tray dropped into the carcass, so the lining material is chosen independently of the shell.
Dust with a dry microfibre cloth. Polish only with a product made for lacquer.
