MADE TO ORDER
This delightful penguin storybox is made to order – each will be made as close to the one pictured here as possible.
This joyful little celebration of love contains two vintage painted lead penguin toy figures, circa 1930’s. They are standing on a piece of “ice”, which is actually Devon sea glass. The inside of the lid is a fragment of stripy vintage quilt, which I have hand-embroidered with snowflakes (please note that the design of the background quilt might vary, but it will be in a similar colourway).
The words are sculpted from wire, or typed on to fabric. The background behind the penguins is a fragment of antique Victorian cream silk bedcover circa mid to late 1800’s, which I have hand-painted in ombre style, as a graduating skyline.
The inside edges are lined with blue ribbon c. 1930’s. The heart is a bead from a 1950’s necklace. It is all set within a small square vintage hinged tin from the 1920’s/30’s.
Size (when open): 16.5cm x 8.5cm x 2.5cm (approximately, as type of each tin used may vary, but it will be similar general proportions). Please note that the exterior design of the tin used will vary, but it will always be vintage.
This item is made from various repurposed antique and vintage items which may show signs of being timeworn. This is part of the design.
Time from order to receiving this item is usually about 4 weeks.
