Truly Jubilee – David Linley
Many retailers have jumped on the Jubilee bandwagon this year by branding their shop windows with every Union Jack they can find, even foreign brands are giving it a go. However we at The Gentleman’s Journal are strong believers that this privilege should only be given to those companies that actually manufacture in Britain. What we are glad about is people are slowly starting to buy British again, it seems for a while that the population forgot that we actually have some of the most skilled craftsman in the world. One company that is a fantastic example of this is the luxury furniture maker, David Linley. You only have to walk pass their show room in Pimlico Road and your mouth will drop to the floor in awe of the outstanding craftsmanship.
In order to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee, what more could be more fitting than the Queen’s Nephew creating 60 Limited Edition Boxes which are distinguished by that most quintessentially British symbol, the Union Jack Flag. The superbly named Britannia Box is available to order as either a Jewellery Box or a Humidor.
The Britannia Box is constructed in walnut and the Union Jack flag on the lid is depicted using marquetry inlay in vibrantly coloured and highly glossed Bolivar veneers. Inside the box there are Sterling silver commemorative engravable plaques that feature the LINLEY hallmark as well as that of the Diamond Jubilee. These plaques make the box an ideal gift, allowing you to personalise it with a small message or initials.
This is the ultimate collectable from a British brand that actually manufactures in Britain. We say the Britannia Box is a sound investment that will last generations. £3,900 davidlinley.com
