Description
This silver-plated trinket box is a small round keepsake box with a polished butterfly sitting on top of its lid. The body is a plain, smooth drum of silver-plated metal with a bright mirror finish, so the butterfly is the only decoration and it catches the light from every side. Its wings are softly rounded and its body is picked out in fine ridges, giving the little figure a gentle, three-dimensional look. The box stands 5.5cm tall and measures 5.6cm across, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand and to tuck onto the most crowded surface.
We like it on a dressing table or bedside table, where it keeps the little things that tend to go astray: a pair of earrings, a ring taken off at night, a fine chain or a favourite brooch. It sits just as happily on a mantelpiece or on a hall shelf, holding a spare key or a few coins. The silver finish works with most colour schemes, from white and pale wood to deeper painted walls, and the butterfly adds a light, pretty touch without any fuss. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes something small and polished to keep their treasures in.
The lid lifts straight off and sits neatly back on the base, and the inside is lined in grey, giving rings and chains a quiet place to rest. Because the surface is so highly polished, it is worth handling the box with dry hands and giving it a wipe with a soft, dry cloth to keep fingerprints away; a silver polishing cloth will bring back the shine if it dulls over time, and we would avoid anything abrasive. Tuck a piece of jewellery inside before you wrap it, and opening the box becomes part of the present.
