Description
This silverplated music box is a gentle keepsake for a new arrival, with a little teddy bear sitting on the lid and holding a glossy cream heart in its paws. The round body has a shiny silver finish, with a polished rim around the top and a stepped base at the foot. A ring of small clear studs runs around the cream lid, catching the light and framing the teddy at the centre. It is a small piece, 7.4cm tall and 7.9cm across, so it fits easily on the narrowest nursery shelf and leaves room for photographs and cards beside it.
We think it makes a thoughtful gift to mark a birth or a christening, and a lovely way to welcome new parents to their first weeks with a baby. It suits the very youngest, from newborns up to three years old. Set it on a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers or a dressing table, where the silver and cream sit easily with soft pastels and white furniture alike. It is a keepsake for display rather than a toy, best placed where little hands cannot reach, and one the family can keep long after the baby years as a small reminder of those first days.
The box is made from silverplated metal with a shiny finish all round, from the polished rim to the stepped foot, and it sits flat and steady on a shelf or table. To keep the silver bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can wear a plated surface, and keep it somewhere dry so the shine lasts. Wrapped in tissue with a cream ribbon, it makes a gift new parents will keep on the nursery shelf for years, and later perhaps beside the christening photographs.
