The Moon Cabinet
Name of Designer:
Rupert Senior
The Moon Cabinet is the result of more than 1500 hours of precision design and meticulous craftsmanship, and explores the blurred boundary between Art and Science, drawing inspiration from orreries, the moon and beyond.
Made from a very rare giant piece of burr ash, chosen because of its uncanny resemblance to the moon’s surface, the cabinet surface is interspersed with craters and sub-craters, hand-gilded in 24 carat, ‘moon gold’, yellow gold, and palladium gold leaf.
