Space for the pieces you choose.
A jewellery case for a journey is an exercise in selection. It holds a smaller personal world, arranged for the pieces to be seen, lifted and returned with care.
An interior with purpose
A place for
each piece.
Blue velvet, divided spaces, removable pads. This surviving case makes the idea of a fitted interior visible: a small world organised within a protective exterior.
Livrustkammaren records it among the components of Crown Prince Gustaf’s travelling service. The complete original contents and arrangement of that service remain unestablished.
Explore the original serviceDifferent forms. Different places.
A chain needs separation; a brooch needs room around its delicate details. A useful interior follows the jewellery’s actual dimensions, with space to lift and return each piece.
Before using a historic case, inspect the lining and fastenings. Preserve original fittings and document changes before intervention. Fit and condition matter more than the number of compartments.
The journey, then the evening
Time to choose.
Once the journey is over, the case opens for a different purpose. The pieces brought from home are laid out, considered and chosen for the evening ahead.
Inside jewellery casesThe theatre opening and arrival scene are imagined settings within the Leuchars world. The fitted case is an original museum photograph, with its source identified in the Archive. A case’s dimensions and closure do not establish security, insurance or protection for a particular journey. Availability, materials and condition of any offered piece are stated in its individual description.
