Description
This metal trinket box takes the form of a pair of puppies, lying close together with their paws tucked in front of them and the smaller one nestled against the side of the larger. It is hand-painted all over in a warm golden tan brown, with cream paws and muzzles, glossy black noses and dark eyes. The brushwork picks out every tuft of fur along their backs and ears. Small sparkling stones are set into the puppies' ears, and a fine gold-coloured rim traces the line where the lid meets the base. Made of metal alloy, it measures 5.5cm high, 7cm wide and 6.5cm deep, so it sits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
The head and back of the larger puppy lift on a small hinge to open the box, revealing a smooth white interior. It is just the right size for a ring, a pair of earrings or a tiny keepsake you want to keep close. On a dressing table or bedside table it keeps those little things in one place. When it is closed it simply reads as a sweet ornament, so it looks just as good on a bookshelf, a mantelpiece or a windowsill among framed photographs.
The paintwork is applied by hand over the metal, and the gold-coloured edging around the opening gives a neat finish when the lid is closed. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water and harsh cleaners. Lift the lid gently by the larger puppy's head rather than forcing the hinge. With a little surprise tucked inside, it makes a charming gift, and once the treasure is found the box stays on as a keepsake of its own.
