Antlered Deer Metal Trinket Box with Hinged Lid - Orange

This antlered deer trinket box takes the shape of a proud little stag, standing square on four slender legs with his head held high and his branching antlers reaching upwards. His metal body is finished in a glossy, warm orange, shading to white on the chest, throat and inner legs, with black hooves, a black nose and deep brown antlers. Small clear jewels sparkle inside each ear and gather in a cluster on his haunch, and a fine gold-coloured rim traces the line where the lid meets the base. He stands 12.2cm tall, 10.3cm wide and 4.4cm deep.

That slim 4.4cm depth lets him settle on a narrow shelf, a windowsill or the corner of a dressing table without crowding it. Inside, there is room for the small things that tend to go missing: a favourite ring, a pair of stud earrings, cufflinks or a tiny keepsake. On a bedside table he keeps those pieces in one place overnight, and on a mantelpiece or bookshelf he is simply a charming ornament that happens to open. We think he makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who would rather their jewellery had somewhere pretty to live.

The lid is formed by his head, neck and back, which lift together on a small hinge at the rear to reveal a white interior within the orange base. He stands freely on his own four hooves, so he needs no wall, hook or stand, just a flat surface. To keep the glossy finish bright, dust him with a soft dry cloth and avoid soaking him or using harsh cleaners. Lift the lid gently while holding the base steady. For a pretty touch, set him where the light catches those little jewels, or tuck a ring inside before you wrap him as a present.
