Description

To mark the fiftieth anniversary of Sir Winston Churchill's death, Halcyon Days is proud to have created in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery, a limited edition enamel box. A piece we hope will be a fitting tribute to Britain's prodigious wartime leader.

The portrait, which can be seen on the lid of the box, was painted in 1916 by Sir William Newenham Montague Orpen and offers us a rare glimpse into the depths of Churchill's character. Perhaps because of the recent disaster at Gallipoli, Churchill's expression seems deeply troubled, making this portrait quite unique in capturing his profound, personal sense of humanity, as well as his public role as a statesman. Appropriately perhaps, these boxes are examples of great British craftsmanship, being painstakingly hand-painted in our factory in England, using all the traditional techniques for which Halcyon Days has developed an unparalleled reputation.

Limited edition of 100 pieces. Size: L: 3.35" W: 2.55" H: 1.05"

Each enamel box has been lovingly handcrafted by a team of highly skilled artisans. The process, which has been handed down through generations, requires painstaking accuracy, patience and dedication.

It begins as a simple copper mold before being cleaned and coated with a thin layer of enamel. It then enters a kiln at 800C for 7-8 minutes. This process is repeated no less than five times to ensure that the finish is hard, glossy and flawless in preparation for the painting and decoration.

Our artists paint the design by hand, using special enamel paints which can take days depending on the complexity of each design. The enamel is then fired a final time before it is checked, assembled and beautifully packaged.
