George Washington Enamel Box

Commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence, the George Washington Enamel Box pays tribute to America's first President and celebrates the legacy of the man who helped shape a nation.

Created with kind permission of The Frick Collection, New York, this enamel box features Gilbert Stuart's celebrated 1795 portrait of George Washington, one of the most recognisable and influential images in American history. Stuart painted Washington from life during his second term in office, capturing him at the age of sixty-three, just a few years before the end of his presidency.

Unlike many formal state portraits of the period, Stuart chose a more intimate and natural presentation. Washington is shown in a three-quarter pose, dressed in a rich red coat, his expression calm, thoughtful and resolute. The portrait helped establish the enduring image of Washington that would become familiar to generations of Americans and remains one of the defining likenesses of the nation's founding era.

Handcrafted in England by our skilled artisans and finished with 18ct gold-plated mounts, this elegant box brings together exceptional British craftsmanship and a masterpiece of American art.

A distinguished keepsake for collectors, history enthusiasts and admirers of one of America's founding fathers, it offers a lasting tribute to the leadership, vision and enduring legacy of George Washington.
