Description
This hand painted trinket box takes the form of a large egg, finished in glossy red with gold-coloured bands, swags and little flower motifs picked out across its curves. Rows of clear, sparkling stones follow the gold detailing, and a larger faceted stone sits at the very top like a jewel on a crown. It is made from metal alloy and stands 10cm tall, 6.5cm wide and 6.5cm deep, raised on four scrolled gold-coloured feet that lift it clear of the surface it sits on.
We think it looks its best on a dressing table, where it can keep a favourite ring or earrings close at hand, or on a mantelpiece, bookshelf or glass-fronted cabinet as a bright point of colour among framed photographs and favourite ornaments. The egg opens across its middle on a small hinge at the back, and the red interior gives a little space for a pair of stud earrings, a ring, a locket or a folded note. It makes a lovely gift for anyone who loves a decorative keepsake with a touch of sparkle, and it sits comfortably in a traditional or a more eclectic room alike.
The red is painted by hand, so small variations from one piece to the next are part of its character. The two halves are edged with beaded gold-coloured rims that meet neatly when the lid closes, and the four scrolled feet keep it steady on a flat shelf. To care for it, dust gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid water and household cleaners, which can dull a painted finish. For a gift that feels a little special, tuck a ring or a pair of earrings inside before you wrap it, so the box opens on a second surprise.
