Essex Whaling Bone Box

Inspired by sailors from New England’s whaling days, scrimshaw is a uniquely American art form. Our scrimshaw boxes feature genuine ox bone etched with charming designs, perfect for stashing your jewelry, keys, or little treasures. Each box is crafted with natural ox bone tiles set on a sturdy wood-composite base, hand polished to bring out the beautiful colors and patterns. No two boxes are exactly alike thanks to the natural variations in the bone. This antique-style box measures 3-1/4" square by 2" tall, with a lift-off lid and a soft green felt interior, all sealed and polished for lasting charm.
