Halcyon Days Turner The Fighting Temeraire Enamel Box

J.M.W. Turner’s most famous painting The Fighting Temeraire is reproduced in miniature on this beautiful enamel box from Halcyon Days.
J.M.W. Turner’s most famous painting is reproduced in miniature on this beautiful enamel box from Halcyon Days. The Fighting Temeraire shows the old warship being towed up the Thames to her final resting place in Rotherhithe. It was painted in 1838 and Turner bequeathed it to the nation in 1851. It now hangs in the National Gallery, and the painting features on the latest £20 note.
Crafted in Bilston, once the heart of Britain’s enamelling industry, the box is made using the classic technique of enamel on copper. This creates the perfect surface for paint, and gives the subtle blue and gold colours extra depth and clarity. The base is in tonal pale blue.
