Description
This little metal trinket box takes the form of a grown chimpanzee sitting with a baby chimpanzee at its side. The larger figure has one hand raised to its brow and the other arm resting gently over the little one. The fur is a deep, glossy black, set off by peach faces, ears, hands and feet, with a pale muzzle and dark eyes on the larger figure. It stands 6.3cm tall, 4.2cm wide and 5.1cm deep, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand. The upper body lifts back on a hinge to reveal a cream compartment rimmed in gold, hidden neatly inside the figure.
Because the compartment is compact, it suits the little things that otherwise go astray: a pair of stud earrings, a ring taken off for washing up, a spare button or a folded note worth keeping. On a dressing table or bedside table it keeps those pieces in one place. On a bookshelf, mantelpiece or desk it reads simply as a characterful animal figure, with the storage kept discreetly inside until the lid is lifted. The pose has a gentle, affectionate feel, and the pair sit happily among other small ornaments or alone.
The box is made from metal with a smooth, glossy finish over the black fur and peach detailing, and a slim gold rim edges the opening where the lid closes. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth. Where needed, wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth, then dry it straight away; abrasive cleaners can dull a glossy surface, so they are best avoided. It looks lovely on its own or grouped with a few favourite ornaments, and it makes a thoughtful small gift, all the more so with a little surprise tucked inside before you wrap it.
