dollhouse hope chest – Pat Cahill Metalworks https://patcahillmetalworks.com Handcrafted Silver Boxes and Fine Jewelry Wed, 27 Apr 2016 17:17:18 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 https://patcahillmetalworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/cropped-avatar-32x32.jpg dollhouse hope chest – Pat Cahill Metalworks https://patcahillmetalworks.com 32 32 Silver and Gold Hinged & Latched Miniature Steamer Trunk https://patcahillmetalworks.com/product/silver-and-gold-hinged-latched-miniature-steamer-trunk/ Wed, 27 Apr 2016 17:12:15 +0000 http://patcahillmetalworks.com/?post_type=product&p=2424 I was thinking of a miniature, old fashioned hope chest or a steamer trunk when I made this box.

It is handcrafted of recycled sterling silver and 18 karat yellow gold.

The sterling has been oxidized to a deep black – it really shows off the gold accents.

The box is hinged on one side and the clasp is riveted (and hinged) to be like a clasp on a trunk.

You can see in the photos that I have given the box a texture that reminds me of wood and made a decorative pattern of two stripes in a different texture around the box – that adds to the “miniature, old fashioned trunk” feeling to me.

I can imagine that this box would be an amazing addition to a really cool dollhouse or to a collection of miniatures or boxes.

All of my boxes are one of a kind and made with ethically sourced, recycled/reclaimed metals.

This box measures:
38.1 mm length (1.5 inch)
20.32 mm height (0.80 inch)
27.94 mm width (1.1 inch)
