Crown Chestnut Press
Create beautiful botanical art for your home and preserve your memories with ease.
Handcrafted in a rural family-run workshop on Ireland’s wild west coast, each flower press is designed to capture many years of botanical memories.
This flower press is made from strong birch plywood, designed to last for generations. The top board is veneered with rich, reddish-brown chestnut, crown-cut to showcase the whorls and waves of the natural wood grain, and engraved with our magical wild hare. The wood we use in our flower presses is sustainably sourced from Forest Stewardship Council forests, where every harvested tree is replanted.
All the hardware used throughout the press is brass, which will become even more beautiful with age and use.

Included accessories:
Your flower press comes with 4 cardboard separators and 4 precious sheets of thick, highly absorbent blotting paper, so you are ready to press your first flowers the day it arrives.
We’ve also included a lovely cotton canvas carrying bag with extra long handles to allow you to carry your flower press over your shoulder when foraging, and a small matching drawstring bag for carrying your snips without scratching your beautiful flower press as you’re happily tromping through the hedgerows. Finally, we’ll add a sample size of the natural beeswax polish I recommend. It is made here in Kerry, smells amazing, and brings out the natural lustre of the wood. A light beeswax buffing every four months will keep your flower press happy and well fed, protecting and nourishing it so that it can bring you joy for many years.
Your Flower Press will be shipped to you in a natural brown cardboard box, nestled safely and snuggly in recycled shredded cardboard.
