Memento Chest: "Glyphed Arcanum" - Handcrafted Wooden Desktop Trunk, Laser-Engraved Artwork, Customizable - MADE TO ORDER

$225.00



This large wooden chest or desktop trunk boasts a spacious, velvet-lined interior and a meticulously engraved exterior, sure to captivate the eye with its enchanting presence in any room. The "Glyphed Arcanum" trunk of holding is crafted from birch plywood and is ornamented by Celtic-themed knotwork paired with glyphs and runes, further enhanced by a dual staining process for intricate detail. The trunk's robust construction, featuring double layers at key structural points and decorative bracing, ensures exceptional resilience and durability. Customers can customize their order with options such as accent stain color for the lid emblem and corner knotwork, and mirrored acrylic for the interior lid (see "CUSTOMIZATIONS AVAILABLE" below). This trunk is built to last for generations, preserving your most treasured possessions, both literal and sentimental, for years to come.

🧙‍♂️ Creator's Note - 01/22/26: In future creations, the inlaid medallion on the lid will be engraved in greater detail, with engraved 'void' areas to make the knotwork designs more distinct. Photos of these details will be uploaded for example when another trunk is created.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wholesale availability

Due to the nature of the majority of my work, and the typical amount of business that comes through my shop, wholesale items are not available.

Custom and personalized orders

Please contact me before placing an order should you desire customizations not outlined or offered in any particular listing.

Holiday ordering

During the Christmas holiday season, I can quickly become VERY busy; typically putting in 12 hour days in order to make holiday shipping deadlines.
Please plan ahead - I begin taking Christmas orders in late August, but due to workload, I will close the shop to further made-to-order requests the first week of December. Ready to ship items remain listed and ship as stated in their listing.

Shipping times

In the case of any custom or Made To Order item, I try very hard to meet the listed production/ship time for the listed item. However, I am a one-man shop, and the handcrafted nature of the work, particularly during busy periods, can cause delays. If you require your item by a specific date, please inquire first. I do not rush the work, as I want each piece to be exceptional and worthy to the person purchasing it. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and of course, your patronage!
