Description
This sailing boat trinket box captures a classic yacht under full sail, made in metal with a glazed white finish. Its broad sails are crossed with fine gold lines, a gold mast rises between them, and the warm brown hull rides on a little swell of blue waves tipped with white. A row of small sparkling blue embellishments runs along the side of the deck, while tiny green ones climb the mast and catch the light as you pass. It is a compact piece: its front measures 10.4cm one way and 9.6cm the other, and it is just 2.9cm deep, so it sits happily in the smallest space.
We think it looks most at home on a dressing table, a bedside table or a bookshelf, where it keeps a few small trinkets close at hand and earns its place on display at the same time. It suits a coastal or nautical scheme, from a seaside cottage sitting room to a blue and white bedroom, and it brings a breezy holiday note to a study desk or a mantelpiece. Because it stands on its own wave base, it needs no hook or nail on the wall, and it can be moved from room to room whenever you fancy a change.
The metal body carries a smooth glazed finish in white, with gold detailing picking out the sails, the rail and the mast, and colour on the hull and the waves. To keep it looking its best, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners, which can dull a glazed surface. Set it beside a coastal print or a jar of sea glass to make a little seaside corner, or wrap it as a charming gift that is both pretty and useful: a small boat that keeps treasures safe in harbour.
