Hand carved steel and gold incorporating repousse, chiseling, and experimentation into fire opalescent steel, circa 1996. Total weight: 346g

This exquisite box was entirely hand-carved and chased around 1996. It is the product of Brush's study of ancient gold work, admirably exemplified with the lost art of gold granulation. A process that had been lost since ancient times and revived by a handful of jewellers in Italy in the 19th Century but lost again to the majority of the world, enabled by the traditional process for creating the minute balls involving mercury. This palm-sized objet de virtue evokes thoughts of a treasure chest, buried at the bottom of the sea for centuries, reappropriated by the elements, scintillating with all the intricate secrecy of a Faberge egg.
