This lot comprises two contemporary hinged trinket boxes in the form of an elephant and a giraffe. Both items are constructed from gold-tone base metal. The elephant is depicted in a low, charging pose and is entirely encrusted with clear faceted crystals, featuring green stones for the eyes and polished metal ears and tusks. The giraffe is shown in a standing pose, decorated with orange enamel spots and inset with clear faceted crystals along the neck and body. Both boxes feature a hinged opening with a magnetic closure and have interiors finished with a pearlescent cream-coloured enamel lining. No maker’s marks or signatures are visible on either piece. These items are in the style of contemporary giftware such as the Treasured Trinkets collection.
Approximate height of giraffe: 11cm
Approximate length of elephant: 9cm.
