Description
This hand-painted metal trinket box takes the form of a pair of penguins huddled close together, heads gently leaning in towards one another. Their glossy black backs and heads sit against smooth white fronts, while silver-tone beaks, feet and wings add a bright finishing touch, the wings glittering with tiny set sparkles that catch the light. It stands 7.4cm tall, 5.7cm wide and 3.5cm deep, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand yet full of character, and the black and white colouring keeps it crisp beside almost any décor.
It is more than an ornament. The top lifts away across the penguins' backs to open a hidden compartment with a pearly cream interior, just right for a pair of earrings, a ring, a spare key or any small keepsake you want close at hand. On a dressing table it becomes a home for the jewellery you reach for every day. On a shelf, mantelpiece or bedside table it is a charming little piece that quietly keeps something tucked away. It rests on the penguins' own feet and needs no stand, so it settles happily on any flat surface.
Its metal body is painted by hand, giving the black a deep, glossy shine and the white a soft, smooth sheen, with silver-tone detailing at the beaks, wings and feet for a polished edge. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep water and metal polish away from the painted surfaces. We think it makes a lovely gift on its own, or with a small piece of jewellery waiting inside as a surprise for whoever lifts the top. Set it where the light can reach those sparkling wings and it will charm everyone who spots it.
