Description
This round silverplated money box brings a gentle parade of elephants to a shelf. Three raised elephants walk in line, largest to smallest, each holding the tail of the one ahead with its trunk. Above them, small raised stars are scattered across the shiny silver surface, and a neat coin slot sits in the flat top. It stands 8.5cm tall and 8cm across, a compact size that fits comfortably in one hand and takes up little room on a shelf or chest of drawers.
We think it makes a lovely gift for new parents, a keepsake that marks the start of a family's savings and looks the part from the first day. The soft, simple design suits a nursery shelf, a windowsill or a bedside table, and its bright silver finish sits well alongside white, grey, pastel or natural wood furniture. Because it is small and freestanding, it needs no wall space and can move from room to room as the years go by. It is the kind of piece that is kept long after the coins have been counted.
The money box is made of metal with a silverplated finish, polished to a shine that catches the light. The elephants and stars are raised from the surface, so the design has a pleasing texture under the fingertips. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers, which can scratch a plated finish. A silver polishing cloth used gently will lift any dullness over time. For a gift, we like to pop the first coin inside before wrapping it, a small gesture that gets the saving started.
