Description
This little rustic wooden box has been transformed with a lid of hand tooled pewter. The romantic duo sail beneath a moon of rose quartz. Perfect for a man or woman for tiny treasures and keepsakes. The box measures 39mm (1.5ins) across and is 30mm(1.25ins) high.
<br />
<br />Each pewter piece has been individually made by hand (not cast) to my own design. A pattern is raised on a sheet of pewter, then the raised area is filled. The item is then mounted on a rigid base,chemically patinated, then polished.Modern pewter is lead-free and after patination has a shiny,almost reflective,finish.It does not blacken like silver and can be brightened, if necessary,with a smear of metal polish and a buffing with a soft cloth.
