Sakura Shell Inlay Cutlery Stand

This beautfiul cutlery stand is meticulously shaped and features iridescent shell inlay and pale wood detailing in the shape of cherry blossoms.

This is a multifunctional piece, perfect for holding cutlery, chopsticks, pens and pencils, and more. The rich and lustrous warm brown of the cherry bark with its unique wood grain and natural whorls, paired with the shimmer of the raden shell inlay, make this a truly delightful piece of interior decor in whatever room it is in. Whether holding cutlery in your kitchen or your favorite pens atop your desk, this is a piece that invites admiration and daily discovery of its charming details. 

There is no need to worry about scratching the cherry bark during use—the interior of the cutlery stand has a dark, rough surface, which also further offsets its luxurious exterior.
