You cannot get this type of box anywhere else
in the world, our Memory Boxes are one-off, we
never ever repeat a design. Marquetry representations
of a life's achievements or passions are engraved
and inlaid into the box.
Each Memory Box is its own project, the box is
created to be not only a thing of beauty and a
treasured heirloom, but also to reflect the character
of the person for whom the box is commissioned
for.
It takes 8 of our specialist craftsmen to produce
each box, and you will be able to see the progress
of your Memory Box from anywhere in the world.
Key stages are captured in video and still
photography and posted to your own secure web
page entitled 'Under Lock And Key'
, where these
videos and images can be viewed and messages can be sent
to the craftsmen who are working on your box.

Wheathills' Memory Boxes
Each box is totally handmade here at Wheathills
in beautiful, rural Derbyshire.
by Wheathills craftsmen using only the finest
materials and timbers (all of our timbers are
ethically sourced).
Each box comes with its own supporting Provenance Certificate
, detailing who commissioned the box,
the reason why, which craftsmen worked on it,
what materials were used and who the Memory Box
was dedicated to.
Imagine the joy of giving a Memory
Box as a gift to someone you love – a special
heirloom that your family will treasure forever.
At Wheathills we believe that our clients must have
a major involvement in developing the design and
the materials used in creating a Memory Box;
it is truly an amazing journey undertaken
to provide a gift like no other. This approach not only
ensures the uniqueness of the box but also clearly represents
the recipient and the reason for creating such a thoughtful
gift.
For the recipient, an individually
designed Memory Box is a gift to be admired and for
the giver it represents the best way to be remembered
forever.
With a beautiful Memory Box your personal
and family memories will always be safe
