Since they were abundantly made they are still among some of the most easy and economical Treasures to collect and display. The shapes, sizes and varieties are seemingly endless. The beveled glass used on most of the trinket boxes was thick and therefore stood the test of time and endured the ages. The pieces that have lost their golden lustre can easily be spray painted any hue that suits your decorating tastes... I have many that have gone White and definitely have that Romantic delicate Shabby Chic appeal.
I love that so many of my pieces beautifully disguise everyday items, or become useful and yet pretty storage... making them both a charming Treasure and a utilitarian piece in the rooms they grace. They often stack nicely making an even more visual impact vertically as well as horizontally. Yes, I do adore my old trinket boxes and chachke's with golden details and I wonder... can one ever have too many?! *wink* ... Dawn ... The Bohemian
