Willow Tree Tenderness Keepsake Box

TITLE: Tenderness Keepsake Box

Willow Tree, a line of carved figurative sculpture created by American artist Susan Lordi, presents the "Tenderness Keepsake Box", a small and sweet place to keep treasures. Since 1999, Lordi has worked in partnership with DEMDACO to produce, market, and distribute her unique creations.

Keepsake Boxes are designed with hand-painted bas-relief lids that are not attached to the box bottom, inviting the viewer to discover a hidden message of love and friendship inside. The bottom of each box reveals this special sentiment, making it a delightful surprise.

The Tenderness Keepsake Box features a woman holding a toddler, their foreheads touching, capturing a quiet moment of motherhood. This piece is intended to be open to interpretation, allowing the viewer to connect with the emotion or memory it represents.

Lordi hand carves the original of each Willow Tree figure from her studio in Kansas City, Missouri. This particular piece is cast from her original carving and then meticulously painted by hand. The figures communicate through subtle gestures, such as a tilt of the head or the placement of the hands, to convey the intended sentiment.

Willow Tree sculptures are a reminder of someone we want to keep close or a memory we want to touch. They express a range of emotions, from love and closeness to healing and courage, capturing the essence of a life well lived.

The Tenderness Keepsake Box is a thoughtful gift, particularly suitable for Mother's Day, to acknowledge the love and appreciation for a special someone. Packaged in a fitted box, it is ready for gift-giving and can be displayed on a shelf, table, or mantel.

To clean the Tenderness Keepsake Box, simply dust it with a soft brush or cloth. The box lid fits onto the box bottom, but it is not attached, allowing for easy access to the hidden message inside.

In summary, the Tenderness Keepsake Box from Willow Tree is a charming and sentimental piece that captures a quiet moment of motherhood. It is a treasure to be kept close and a reminder of the emotions and memories that make life meaningful.
