Description
This silverplated rabbit money box sits up on its haunches with its long ears raised, a little keepsake to hold a baby's first savings. The rabbit is made of a metal alloy and finished in real silver plate, polished to a bright mirror shine that catches the light from every side. We love its gentle detail: a small round eye, a soft curve to the cheek, neatly tucked front paws and back feet, and a round tail. A slot runs along the rabbit's back for coins. It stands 10.5cm high, 11.5cm wide and 7cm deep, so it sits on a nursery shelf without crowding it.
It is a lovely piece for the nursery, set on a shelf, a windowsill or a chest of drawers where it catches the morning light and stays out of reach of small hands. As a gift, it suits the birth of a baby or a christening, and it makes a thoughtful Easter present for a little one up to three years old. It is a keepsake for display, one for grown-ups to fill a coin at a time, perhaps one from each visiting relative, and for the child to treasure as they grow.
The rabbit stands steady on its own feet, so it needs no stand or wall. Silver plate keeps its shine best with gentle care: dust it with a soft dry cloth and, now and then, buff it lightly with a clean soft cloth to bring back the gleam. As with any plated metal, keep it away from damp and harsh cleaners. Wrapped in tissue with a handwritten card, it makes a christening or birth gift the family will keep long after the first coins have gone in, and it sits happily beside a favourite storybook in the nursery.
