Plated Pram Money Box with Spoked Wheels - Silver & Blue

This silver plated pram money box is a charming little carriage in miniature, with a gleaming silver body and a pale blue hood that holds the coin slot. The hood is ribbed with fine silver bands, and the same soft blue lines the open seat inside, so the colour shows from every side. A curved silver handle rises from the back with a ribbed grip at its end, and the body sits on four spoked wheels, each with a sparkling faceted blue centre. It stands 10cm tall, 11.5cm wide and 9.5cm deep, small enough to hold in two hands.

Its size suits a shelf, a bookcase or a chest of drawers, where the silver catches the light and the blue hood adds a gentle touch of colour. We think it looks particularly sweet in a nursery or a bedroom, standing beside books and framed photographs, and it is equally at home on a dressing table. As a money box it gives spare coins a proper place to go: they drop through the slot in the top of the hood and gather out of sight inside. It makes a thoughtful gift that is both practical and decorative, something to keep and put on show.

The body, handle and wheels have a bright silver plated finish, while the hood and seat carry a glossy pale blue with a softly brushed look. It is freestanding on its four wheels, so it needs no fixing and can be moved from shelf to shelf whenever you rearrange. To keep the silver bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, and avoid polishes or abrasive cleaners on the blue areas. Wrapped in tissue with a short handwritten note, it makes a lovely present; on display, give it a little space of its own so the pram shape and the spoked wheels can be seen clearly.
