Description
This metal trinket box takes the form of a red macaw perched on a flowering branch, and it brings a bright splash of colour to any shelf. Its body is a rich red, while the wings shade through yellow, green and blue to darker tips, and fine gold-tone lines trace the feathers, beak and collar. Sparkling blue jewel details circle each eye and pick out the shoulders and wings. The branch beneath is a warm reddish brown, with pale yellow blooms, green leaves and blue-grey stones at its feet. It stands 11.5cm tall, 4.5cm across and 5cm deep.
Small enough for a dressing table, a bedside table or a bookshelf, it keeps little things close at hand without taking up room. The top of the bird lifts on a small hinge to open a compartment, a natural home for a ring, a pair of earrings or a tiny keepsake you want kept safe and out of sight. Closed, it reads as an ornament in its own right, so it sits as happily on a mantelpiece or a desk where its colours can be enjoyed every day. It suits a room with a tropical or garden feel, or simply a shelf that could use some cheer, and we think it makes a cheerful gift.
The box is made of metal, with the macaw's colours laid over its surface and gold-tone edging around the rim of the lid. It stands on its own on the branch base, so it needs no wall or stand. To keep the colours bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away; avoid soaking it or using harsh cleaners, and keep perfume and lotions off the surface. For a dressing table, set it beside a jewellery dish or a small plant, or tuck it into tissue as a bright little present.
