Description
This steampunk trinket box takes the shape of a gentleman's top hat. Gears, cogs, pipes and gauges cover it all over, in a silver finish picked out with brass and copper coloured details. A clock face sits at the front of the crown, a pair of goggles with geared lenses rests against the brim, and a brown band with a textured, leather-look surface wraps around the base of the crown. The top of the hat is the lid, carrying a curved pipe, a cluster of gears and more small fittings, so every side gives you something to look at. Made from resin, it stands 11cm tall and measures 13.5cm wide and 13.5cm deep.
At that size it suits a dressing table, a desk or a bookshelf, where it keeps rings, earrings, cufflinks and other small keepsakes together and out of sight. The lid simply lifts off, so the box is quick to open each morning and just as quick to close again. It sits well in a study or living room alongside vintage pieces, old books and brass-toned accents, bringing a touch of the Victorian inventor's workshop to a shelf that needs a focal point.
The resin body carries its detail in raised relief, with darker shading settled into the recesses so every cog, rivet and dial stands out against the silver. Inside, the crown is hollow and finished in silver too, giving a neat round space for small pieces. With so much raised detail, care is simple but worth a little patience: dust it with a soft dry brush or cloth to reach between the gears, and if needed wipe it with a lightly damp cloth, then dry it straight away. Set it at eye level where the clock face and goggles catch the light, or wrap it as a thoughtful gift that keeps being used long after it is unwrapped.
