Cabinet by William Evans, marquetry by James Macdonald
From William Evans-
"Our latest completed commission was a beautifully detailed watch collector's
cabinet. The cabinet is crafted with mottled bubinga on the top and sides,
with bookmatched figured anigree drawer fronts sitting on a mahogany base.
Each drawer has dividers to hold the watches carefully while still allowing
the watch to be seen. There is also a flat felt-covered panel that slides
out neatly to allow the collector to lay out selected watches for handling
or display.
The table has more interesting details - a marquetry watch decoration on
the top, and a handmade locking mechanism. The marquetry is so detailed
that the buckle of the watch shows the shadows of polished brass, and each
number is individually inlaid."
