What better place to safeguard your jewels than in a perfect replica of Highclere Castle, a.k.a. Downton Abbey? In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past five years, the Victorian architectural splendor of Highclere Castle has become internationally celebrated thanks to several compelling seasons of the ITV Television series Downton Abbey.

Made of burr maple, ripple maple and quilted maple details, the Highclere Castle jewel box comprises 10,944 pieces of marquetry that have been painstakingly pieced together by one of LINLEY’s master craftsmen. While the decorative stonework around the roof is laser cut and etched in maple, the 72 square finials are turned on a special lathe that ensures each piece is perfectly symmetrical. Lined in faux suede, the box features three main drawers. In typically clever LINLEY style, a secret drawer within the box underscores LINLEY’s unparalleled design and superior craftsmanship.

Designed by David Armstrong-Jones, Viscount Linley, who is Queen Elizabeth’s sole nephew, the limited edition Highclere Castle jewel box can be yours for a mere 65,000 British pounds (that’s U.S.$101.832.38).

Destined to become one of your family heirlooms, this treasure is available at LINLEY
