Peter Lloyd is a craftsman working from his small workshop in Cumbria, England where he produces, by hand, a limited number of fine hardwood boxes. "I search out unusual and beautiful pieces of wood from which I create document boxes, jewellery chests and writing boxes. I also make boxes for special occasions and presentations and I am always happy to discuss individual requirements; a chess box for example, a bible box or a bridge box." Each box arises from a careful study of the shape and figure of the wood and reflects a balance between the needs of the design and the natural qualities of the material. Every finished piece is a celebration of its wood. Each box is unique, completely handmade, is numbered and signed and "will undoubtedly be cherished as a future heirloom."
