Classic Glass & Wire Dragonfly Square Trinket Box - White

This square trinket box pairs frosted white glass panels with a fine wire dragonfly that settles across the lid, its wings and the little flowers beside it picked out by hand. A slim silver-coloured frame edges every side, and swirls of wire curl around a long stem that rises to a white flower with a pink centre and a single green leaf. A clear faceted drop hangs at the front of the lid. It is a small, neat piece, 6cm high, 9cm wide and 10.5cm deep, so it sits comfortably on a narrow shelf or a windowsill without crowding it.

We like it on a bedside table or a dressing table, where it gives the small things that tend to wander a proper home: a few keepsakes, hair grips, a spare key or the odd treasure worth keeping safe. The frosted glass softens the view of what is inside, so the box looks tidy even when it is full, and its white and silver tones settle easily into a bedroom, a hallway console or a desk in a home office. With its dragonfly and flowers, it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves a gentle, garden-inspired touch about the house.

The lid lifts on small hinges at the back to open the whole box, and the four sides and the lid are all frosted glass held in the slim silver-coloured frame. The dragonfly, flowers and leaf are painted by hand, which gives their colouring a soft, gently varied look up close. To keep it at its best, dust the glass and frame with a soft dry cloth and wipe away fingermarks with a barely damp one, taking care around the raised decoration on the lid. Set it beside a framed photograph or a small vase of flowers for a pretty corner, or tuck a few small treasures inside before you give it.
