Description
Imagine a fortress perched high above the Dordogne, its walls glowing amber at sunset. Swallows dart around the turrets. In the courtyard below, a lute player tunes his strings while the cook argues with a goose. The lord of the castle, meanwhile, has lost his favorite ring again and has the entire household searching under every tapestry.
This box would have saved him the trouble. A fortified castle with intricate turrets is painted in vibrant colors, and it opens to reveal an interior just right for rings, cufflinks or other cherished trinkets. It brings a sense of grandeur and adventure to a bookshelf, a study or a child’s bedroom. Give it to a history lover who has toured the castles of the Loire, a fan of medieval legends, or a young reader devouring stories of knights and dragons. It also makes a fun gift for a newly purchased home, since every house is, after all, someone’s castle.
