This box is simply gorgeous!
At first, when I looked at the pattern on this box, it seemed sort of old fashioned, but the more I looked, the more beautiful the box became. I now own three items in this "Golden Colonial Elegance" pattern: this box, a set of coasters, and a tray. I am in love with all of them. Ms. Polo's work is just so beautifully made and done, these things are really gorgeous is all I can say, and I thank her for the beauty she has given me.

My 3rd mirror. **Please use better hanging hardware!**
This is my 3rd reverse painted mirror from Asunta Pelaez. 1st was the small Crimson Star; then the octagonal Black Star; and my birthday present was this golden Sweet Flower Majesty. They are all beautiful, but I do have one complaint: Though the mirrors increased in size/weight, all are pre-mounted only with a single relatively cheap piece of hanging hardware (pictured -- the scratches on the paint are from hanging the mirror my wall, the removing it for the picture). I would need to *very carefully* mount another piece of hanging hardware to hang a mirror horizontally. Also, the existing hardware is both somewhat flimsy (I live in an earthquake zone), and mounted so near the edge of the frame that if you use a hook instead of just a nail, the hook is visible above the mirror. At the moment, my solution is to paint my hanging hook to match my wall. I would prefer to mount better hardware to the mirror, but the mirror is thin and I worry about breaking it if I add hardware!
