“Darling Ayari and Nick, thank you so much for the absolutely beautiful and bloomin’ clever box. Made by Ray Silvester himself! What a talent he has. The box is such an intricate labour of love. Luckily Graham worked out how to get in to it…! I’ll be putting it on my desk for treasures, and to remind me of the both of you. Please tell Ray how much I love it and will cherish it. Thank you both so much for such a gorgeous gift!

“I have just given my father one of your wonderful HMS Victory cubes for his 70th birthday. Both he and I absolutely love it. It must be the best present I have ever given him! It’s beautiful mix of history and workmanship.
Thank you so much.”

“Ray, the boxes (for pets’ ashes) have arrived safely and they are just perfect. Thanks so much.
They will enable us to keep our old friends nearby whilst having something interesting and decorative to look at.”

Many, many thanks for such a beautiful piece of workmanship.”
