Description
This handpainted metal trinket box is shaped like a red Christmas boot, its cuff piled high with festive treats. The boot is a rich glossy red, scattered with little gold stars and clear set stones, and topped with a white cuff textured like fur. Peeping out of the top are a brown teddy bear, a red and white candy cane, a small green Christmas tree, a pink swirl lollipop, a heap of wrapped presents and a golden ball studded with sparkling stones. It stands 6.3cm high, 3.3cm wide and 6.1cm deep, small enough to sit in your palm.
We think it belongs on a mantelpiece, a dressing table or a bookshelf through December, where its bright red and gold catch the eye among the cards. Being so small, it suits a windowsill or a side table too. The upper part of the boot lifts on a hinge at the heel to reveal a small space inside the sole, enough for a ring, a pair of stud earrings or a tiny keepsake. That makes it a thoughtful Christmas gift in its own right, and a lovely way to present a small piece of jewellery: tuck it inside and let them open the boot on Christmas morning.
The box is made from metal and handpainted in glossy red, with a gold rim where the lid meets the base and gold along the sole. The decorated top is part of the lid, so the treats lift with the boot when you open it, and the flat sole keeps it steady on a shelf. To keep it at its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from water and handle the little treats gently. When Christmas is over, it packs away with the decorations, ready for next year, or it can stay on a dressing table all year as a home for rings.
