Description
This jewelled trinket box brings Father Christmas himself to the dressing table, standing proud on a snowy lid with an armful of wrapped presents in one hand and a bell in the other. He wears his red suit and hat with white trim, a black belt with a gold buckle and black boots, and his long white beard is picked out in fine detail. Around his feet the snowy lid is scattered with candy canes, holly and little baubles, and the round red base beneath is decorated with gold snowflakes and dotted with small clear jewels between gold rims. The whole piece has a glazed finish and stands 8.5cm tall, 4.5cm wide and 4.5cm deep, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.
The lid lifts on a hinge to open a small round compartment with a white interior, just right for a pair of earrings, a ring or a folded note. Because it is so compact, it suits a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bedside table or a shelf among other festive pieces, and it slips easily into a stocking. As a Christmas gift it makes a lovely keepsake for anyone who looks forward to bringing out the decorations each year, and a little treasure that can come out again every December.
Every detail of the figure is painted and finished with a glossy glaze, from the rosy cheeks to the parcels, and the lid closes neatly onto the gold rim of the box. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water and harsh cleaners. When the season ends, we like to tuck a little treasure inside and wrap it in tissue until next year, and as a gift it needs only a ribbon to make a charming stocking filler.
