Gothic Moth and Skull Resin Trinket Box with Lid - Green

This gothic moth and skull trinket box is a small square keepsake box in resin, painted in a deep green with purple, cream and copper detail. On the lid, a cream skull sits in the middle of a moth with outspread wings, each one outlined in copper, filled with purple and green and picked out with tiny white dots. Each side carries its own moth in raised relief, framed by dark grey bands studded all round, and the speckled, weathered paintwork gives it the look of an old chest. It stands 9cm tall and measures 10.5cm across and 10.5cm deep, a neat size for a dressing table or shelf.

Inside it is painted a cool turquoise green, with room for rings, earrings, a favourite pendant or the small bits that tend to wander off a dressing table. It suits a bedroom, a bookshelf or a desk, anywhere a touch of the gothic is welcome, and the skull and moth design gives it plenty of character without being large. We think it makes a lovely gift for a friend with a taste for the dark and decorative, for a mum who collects curious things, or for a brother or sister who would rather have skulls than florals.

The lid lifts straight off rather than hinging, so it is easy to reach in, and the square base sits flat and steady on any level surface. The moulded resin holds all that raised detail well, from the skull's teeth to the studs along each band. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and, if needed, wipe it with a lightly damp cloth and let it dry; keep it away from water and harsh cleaners to protect the paint. Fill it with a few small treasures before you wrap it, and it becomes a gift that is opened twice.
