Founded in 1950, Halcyon Days Ltd. holds all three Royal Warrants to the British Royal Household as Suppliers of objets d'art – one of only 14 businesses to hold all three. The firm began making enameled boxes in 1970.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe lid of this lovely oval box is decorated with a crouching leopard surrounded by green foliage with hills and blue sky in the distance. It's hinged to the bottom and has a scalloped handle to open it. The sides are a vibrant orange that continues onto the bottom, which is printed with the black Halcyon Days\/Bilston and Battersea mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe interior of the copper trinket box is white enamel. Printed on the underside of the lid is a drawing of a pair of ostriches, one a male with his feathers spread to impress the female. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eMeasuring 2 inches wide across the lid, the box is 1 inch high to the top of the slightly domed lid and  weighs 1 1\/2 ounces. It is nestled in dark blue velvet in its original 3 inch square blue pasteboard box, along with its descriptive paper pamphlet titled \"Certificate of Origin.\" We've shown all of this in our photos; if you'd like to read the information on the booklet, be sure to click on the photo to enlarge it. Everything is in excellent condition, with virtually no wear. It makes a wonderful gift...for a dear friend or for yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e© \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/PrimpingYourHome.com\"\u003ePrimpingYourHome.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003ePYH 5673\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Primping Your Home Antiques \u0026 Vintage Home Decor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47834011664571,"sku":"5673","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/9101\/7147\/files\/5673-HALCYON_DAYS_English_Enamel_Box_Leopard_Motif-etsy--2000_x_2000.jpg?v=1779995091","url":"https:\/\/www.primpingyourhome.com\/products\/leopard-motif-vintage-halcyon-days-box","provider":"Primping Your Home Antiques \u0026 Vintage Home Decor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
