Today it makes far more sense as a place for the small possessions that accumulate around us—keys, jewellery, spectacles, the detritus of a day well spent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"585\" data-end=\"890\"\u003eDesigned by celebrated South African artist Carol Boyes, the elongated female figure reclines with complete indifference to whatever is entrusted to her care. Keys, jewellery, spectacles, a favourite pen, the spoon from an afternoon espresso — she accepts them all with the same faintly amused expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"1164\"\u003eBoyes had an extraordinary ability to distil the human form into something both sculptural and playful. Here, the body becomes the vessel itself, its softly modelled contours framing a textured black interior that contrasts beautifully with the satin finish of the pewter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1458\"\u003eOriginally conceived as a spoon rest, it feels altogether happier freed from the kitchen. On a bedside table, hallway console or desk, it performs admirably as a small catchall while remaining unmistakably a sculpture in its own right. Functional objects rarely possess this much personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1460\" data-end=\"1544\"\u003eA wonderfully collectible example from one of Carol Boyes' most recognisable series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1551\" data-end=\"1611\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1551\" data-end=\"1565\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1565\" data-end=\"1568\"\u003eL 23 cm × W 8 cm \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1724\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1626\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1629\"\u003eExcellent vintage condition with only light signs of age and use, consistent with its material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1726\" data-end=\"1870\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1726\" data-end=\"1738\"\u003eDelivery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1738\" data-end=\"1741\"\u003eQualifies as a smaller item.
