Copper pieces are crafted on hand-operated presses. Lids and bases are acid washed to prepare the copper to be coated by enamel. Four layers of enamel solution, created from tiny glass particles, are applied to each lid and base. The craftsmanship that goes into each piece is spectacular! These beautiful boxes are hand-painted using the same technique as in oil paintings only in miniature form.Halcyon Days boxes are made in England and have enjoyed Royal patronage, having been commissioned to produce designs for The Queen Mother, The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh and The Prince of Wales. They were granted royal warrants as the first “Suppliers of Objets d’Art” between 1972 and 1987. Distribution of Halcyon Days Enamels is highly selective and is restricted to stores such as Tiffany’s and Neiman-Marcus.The top of this beautiful box shows men dressed in long trousers made of heavy wool; “tennis flannels” as well men wore simpler loafer-type shoes, and if a serious competitor, shoes with spiked soles. Women was dressed in Edwardian summer dresses featuring embroidered tennis racquet detail at the waist, ca. 1910. Unlike men women had to often hobble around on high-heeled boots. This was synonymous with the dress of the day.On the top of this beautiful box is men and women in full tennis attire in a tennis match in front of spectators at Wimbledon. Along the sides it shows tennis rackets and tennis balls. less
