{"product_id":"small-enamelled-box-libra","title":"Small Enamelled Box - Libra","description":"\u003cp\u003eA small wooden box with a midnight-blue lid, and on it a pale disc of zodiac constellations, the scales of Libra at its centre. Flecks of gold scatter around the edge like stars, so the lid looks a little like a night sky. It suits a dresser or bedside table, a place for small things you like to keep close.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe enamelled lid is deep navy, and the cream circle at its centre holds the twelve zodiac signs drawn as fine gold constellations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLibra's scales sit in the middle of the circle, each pan holding a small flower.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA ring of tiny gold dots surrounds the design and gives the lid its starry, hand-finished look.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe wood below is warm and honey-brown, with visible grain that contrasts with the cool navy above.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA dark metal catch on the front holds the lid closed, with the quiet click of a traditional latch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWood and enamel together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box pairs a wooden body with an enamelled lid design. Where the lid is smooth and graphic, the sides show natural grain, and the grain varies from box to box. The dark iron-style clasp adds a slightly vintage note and ties in with the deep blue above. It is a small, light-feeling piece, best treated as a keepsake box rather than a heavy storage chest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow you might use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a natural home for a ring and a pair of earrings, a few special stones, or a handwritten note. Some people keep one on a bedside table to put jewellery away at the end of the day, a small ritual that marks the shift from busy to restful. Open the clasp, lift the lid, and the box is ready for whatever you decide to keep in it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eLibra in context\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLibra is the seventh sign of the zodiac, traditionally pictured as a set of balanced scales and associated in astrological tradition with fairness, harmony and a love of beauty. The scales are among the oldest zodiac images, and here they are drawn in a delicate, floral style. For anyone born under the sign, the design carries personal meaning. For anyone else, it is simply an elegant celestial motif.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the wood and lid with a soft, dry cloth. Keep the box away from damp and from standing water, which natural wood dislikes. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the painted lid.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA thoughtful gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a Libra birthday (traditionally from late September to late October), or for anyone who likes astrology and small beautiful things, this box says \"I thought of you\" without being showy. It is easy to give, and it is useful from the first day.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the design printed or painted?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe lid carries an enamelled design in navy, cream and gold. As with most decorative pieces of this kind, small variations in finish are normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it have a lock?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt closes with a metal latch-style clasp, which keeps the lid shut but is a decorative closure rather than a security lock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the wood finish identical on every box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. Natural wood varies, so the grain and depth of colour will differ slightly from one box to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHAMTAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67721696837946,"sku":"CGIBox-41","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/8307\/0266\/files\/small-enamelled-box-libra-cover.png?v=1792303727","url":"https:\/\/shamtam.com\/products\/small-enamelled-box-libra","provider":"SHAMTAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
