New Jewelry box elephant

About this piece

A charming gilt-metal elephant trinket box with rich enamel detailing, crafted in the spirit of Indian and Southeast Asian design. The figure stands sturdy on four legs, its trunk raised in a gesture of good fortune, whilst the saddle cloth blooms in red enamel with golden accents and a vibrant stripe of blue and orange across the back. Small seed pearls or rhinestones catch the light along the decorated blanket.

The hinged cover lifts to reveal an interior space ideal for storing small jewellery, keepsakes or treasured trinkets. The finish shows the warmth of old gold plating, with patina and wear that speaks to its age and handling. A perfect accent piece for a jewellery drawer or display shelf, or a thoughtful gift for a collector of animal figurines and vintage decorative boxes.
