Seller's description

This vintage blackened brass elephant trinket dish is made in England and produced in the distinctive Walter Bosse style, known for its sculptural animal forms and rich darkened metal finish. The stylised elephant design combines charm with clean mid‑century lines, making it both decorative and functional.
Ideal for use as a trinket dish, ring or key holder, or simply as a decorative accent, this piece works beautifully on a desk, hall table, or shelving. Its weight and finish give it a quality feel that suits mid‑century modern, retro, or eclectic interiors.
