Description
This silverplated carousel money box brings a little fairground charm to a baby's room. The canopy roof shines in polished silver with soft pale blue panels and a scalloped edge, and a slot in the roof takes coins, so saving can start on the day it arrives. Carousel horses ride around the centre on twisted silver poles, each with a pale blue saddle set with a small blue stone, and a clear centre lets the horse inside show through. The base wears a pale blue band trimmed with silver swags and beading. It stands 12.7cm tall, 9.3cm wide and 9.8cm deep, a size that sits happily on a narrow nursery shelf.
We see it as a nursery keepsake rather than a toy: a piece for a shelf, a chest of drawers or a windowsill in a little one's room, where the silver catches the light and the soft blue sits gently alongside pastel colours. It makes a thoughtful christening gift, and a lovely present for parents celebrating the arrival of their baby, chosen for a child in their first three years and kept by the family long after. It is a gift that grows in meaning, too, filling up coin by coin as the years go on.
The money box is made of metal with a shiny silverplated finish, and the pale blue panels on the roof and base give the silver a gentle softness. To keep the shine, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes on the coloured areas. For a christening table or a baby's first shelf, pair it with a soft blanket or a framed photograph in the same silver and blue, and it will look as though the whole corner was chosen together.
