Halcyon Days Rembrandt Enamel Box

This exquisite enamel box was made by Halcyon Days to mark the 400th anniversary of Rembrandt’s birthday. The Dutch artist was born in 1606, and was a renowned printer and draughtsman as well as painter.

The image on the lid is inspired by Rembrandt’s 1657 portrait of his son, Titus. The original is in the Wallace Collection in London. The base is in the same rich red shade as Titus’ cap, while the gilt rim picks up on the brighter details in the painting. Crafted in Bilston, once the centre of the UK’s enamelling industry, the square box is made using the traditional technique of enamel on copper. This creates the perfect surface for paint, enhancing the vibrant colours of the portrait.
