Crowned Swan Silverplated Money Box with Pink Beak - Silver

This crowned swan money box brings a bright touch of silver to a shelf, with a silver-plated finish polished to a high shine. The swan sits with her neck curved and her head held high beneath a small crown, its points tipped with tiny round beads. A pink beak and a soft pink blush at the neck are the only touches of colour against the silver, and fine sculpted lines run along each wing. A coin slot sits neatly in her back. She stands 13.5cm tall, 11cm wide and 9cm deep, so she fits easily on a narrow shelf or a bedside table.

We like her on a bedroom shelf, a dressing table or a mantelpiece, where the polished curves catch the light from a window or lamp. As a money box she gives saving a purpose: pocket change goes in through the slot, and the loose coins rattling around the kitchen drawer finally have a proper home. Because she is small and freestanding, she needs no wall fixing and moves easily from room to room. She also makes a thoughtful gift for someone saving towards something special, and the crown and pink beak give her a gentle, playful character that sits well alongside other silver pieces.

Her body is smooth and rounded, with the crown sitting proudly on top of the head. On the underside, a round cap is set into a textured base, with a raised bar across it for turning, so the coins can come out when it is time to count them. To keep the plating bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe away fingerprints gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh polishes, which can wear a plated surface. For a gift, she is ready to give just as she is, perhaps with a few coins already dropped in to start the savings off.
