Description
This bee hive trinket box is made in metal and shaped like a traditional straw skep, with raised, beaded bands rising to a domed lid. Its colour is a warm, buttery yellow with soft orange shading along each band, and two small bees bring it to life: one clings to the side of the hive, while the other perches at the end of a curling gold-tone wire that springs from the top of the lid, as if it has just taken flight. On the front, a sunburst of tiny sparkling amber-coloured studs circles the hive's doorway. It stands 8.5cm tall, 7cm wide and 5cm deep, so it sits happily in the palm of your hand.
Small enough for a dressing table, a bedside table or a bookshelf, it makes a cheerful home for the little things that tend to go astray: a pair of earrings, a favourite ring, a spare button or a tiny keepsake you want to keep close. We like it on a sunny windowsill where the light catches the studs, or tucked among books and plants on a living room shelf. It works just as well as a decorative piece on its own, bringing a touch of country garden charm to a kitchen dresser or a hallway table.
The lid lifts on a small hinge at the back to show a smooth white inside, and closes neatly back into place on the body. Because the box is metal with a glossy finish, a quick dust with a soft dry cloth is all it needs; keep it away from water and harsh cleaners, and handle the wire topper and the little bees gently, as they are the finest parts. Wrapped in tissue, it makes a sweet small gift, and with a handwritten note or a little piece of jewellery tucked inside, the box becomes part of the present itself.
