Description
This hand painted bee trinket box is a little metal treasure in black and gold, with bands of warm orange across its body and a pair of gold openwork wings rising from its back. A scatter of clear sparkling stones sits across its gold shoulders, its bright green eyes are dotted with black, and two twisted gold antennae reach forward from the head. It stands on slender black legs with golden yellow tips, so it sits steadily on any flat surface with no stand needed. It is made from metal alloy with some plastic, and it measures 4.3cm tall, 5.7cm across and 4.5cm deep, small enough to rest in the palm of your hand.
Its size makes it a natural fit for a dressing table, a bedside table or a bookshelf, where it can keep a pair of earrings, a ring or a tiny keepsake safe and close to hand. It works just as well as an ornament on its own: set it on a mantelpiece or inside a glass cabinet and the gold wings catch the light from every side. It brings a cheerful touch of the garden indoors, and it sits happily among books, plants or a small group of favourite ornaments in a study, bedroom or living room.
The back of the bee lifts on a small hinge, opening across the body to reveal an orange painted space inside for little treasures. The whole piece is hand painted, with gold trim edging the lid and the wings. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from water, and open the lid by the body rather than the wings or antennae. We think it makes a charming gift, and it is a lovely way to keep a favourite ring safe beside the bed overnight.
