Description
Perfect for tiny treasures, cufflinks and rings, this little rustic wooden box has been transformed with a lid of hand-tooled pewter and features a lovely amazonite cabochon. It is 26mm high and 36mm across. A great gift for a man or woman for a 10th Wedding Anniversary or Birthday.
<br />
<br />Each pewter piece has been individually made by hand (not cast) to my own design using the repousse method. 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.
