Our collections are constantly being updated and include ladies and men’s jewelry boxes, games, cigar humidors, watch cases, pen boxes, and stationery items.
Our entire production is crafted from exotic and domestic woods in a variety of finishes, from natural to very high polish, and all our jewelry boxes are lined with tarnish free ultra suede.

The elm trees, pictured, have unusual growth characteristics caused by a “disease”. The wood from these trees, when properly opened and cut in slices, give us that rich combination of tonality and design that we call briarwood.
Finding trees that carry this “disease” is very rare (about one in one-hundred fifty), and the tough selection in choosing only the best of these naturally “drawn” veneers, dramatically reduce the usable quantities.
The thin slice is then glued on a poplar panel, laminated with 12 layers in opposite directions to prevent warping.
We work with Elm briarwood mostly, but several other woods have their briars: LIGHT (Ash, Myrtle), DARK (Walnut, Vavona) similar to Elm (Madrona).
It is very important to stress the fact that, in recent years, faux woods have appeared in the marketplace. None of these fake reproductions, however, often sold as real, can begin to replace the beauty or the feel of the natural woods themselves.
 

This is the truly handcrafted process, modeled by skilled hands, by which we create our finished product. Cutting, gluing, sanding, spraying, lining and expertly finishing in our daily work. We, at AGRESTI, hope you enjoy the designs and quality our efforts produce.
