Crafted from reclaimed timber and steeped in shadowed elegance, my bookboxes are where mystery meets function. Each piece is hand-built from recycled wood, giving
forgotten timber a second life as a hidden sanctuary for your most treasured possessions.
Disguised as antique tomes, these striking creations are perfect for safeguarding trinkets, keepsakes, remote controls, letters, or any small secrets you wish to keep close.
Whether resting upon a grand bookshelf or a candlelit side table, my bookboxes blend dark romance with practical design — timeless relics for the modern home.
I offer custom designs tailored to your vision. From family crests and meaningful symbols to business signage and bespoke statement pieces, I can create artwork that
reflects your identity.
The cover can be any design and can be made any size and are available in oak, walnut and bamboo with lots of choice of leather hinge and linings.
CUSTOM BOOKBOXES
Skull Art 2026
ALLIGATOR BOOKBOX (£140)
Hand-crafted from solid oak, this clandestine treasure is designed to resemble an ancient tome, yet within its carved covers lies a hidden chamber. The front bears a striking alligator relief — a creature of patience, power, and primordial mystery — rendered in deep Gothic detail. Size: 24cm (W), 33cm (H), 7.5cm (D)
THESAURI BOOKBOX (£140)
This handcrafted oak bookbox bears a striking relief of a skull crowned in blooming roses — a timeless memento mori rendered in deep gothic carving. The skull, eternal and unyielding, rests among delicate petals — a reminder that life and decay are forever intertwined. At first glance, it appears to be a solemn tome from a forgotten abbey library, yet within its carved wooden covers lies a hidden chamber, waiting to guard your most sacred possessions. Size: 24cm (W), 33cm (H), 7cm (D)LOVE YOU TO DEATH BOOKBOX (£140)
From the dim glow of cathedral candles and the velvet hush of midnight libraries comes a gothic treasure unlike any other — an oak bookbox carved with a skeleton forming a heart with its bony hands. A gesture of devotion beyond flesh, beyond time, beyond mortality. What appears to be a solemn, ancient volume resting upon your shelf conceals a hidden chamber within solid oak — a sanctuary for secrets meant only for the chosen. Size: 24cm (W), 33cm (H), 7cm (D)
CALVERA BOOKBOX (£70)
A small book box crafted from rich walnut wood offers a quiet elegance steeped in Gothic charm. The deep, chocolate-brown grain of the walnut lends the piece a naturally dark and brooding character, its polished surface catching the light like the worn panels of an ancient library. Designed to resemble a miniature tome, the box opens to reveal a compartment—perfect for safeguarding letters, keepsakes, or other cherished secrets. Both decorative and mysterious, this walnut book box feels as though it could have been lifted from the desk of a forgotten scholar or the shadowed shelves of a candlelit study. Size: 13.5cm (W), 16.5cm (H), 7cm (D)
MEMENTO BOOKBOX (£60)
Fashioned from timber reclaimed from a vintage snooker table sourced from a former police social club, this box carries echoes of whispered conversations, clinking glasses, and late-night games played under dimmed lights. The wood has lived a life — and now it lives again. Size: 12cm (W), 13.5cm (H), 6.5cm (D)
