Trinket Box, Harmony Kingdom, "Journey Home," Salmon Swimming Upstream, Hand Carved, Peter Calvesbert, Made in England, 1991

At five inches long, it's a functional trinket box as well as a display piece — perfect for jewelry, rings, or small keepsakes. A meaningful gift for a fisherman, a fly fishing enthusiast, a nature lover, or a Harmony Kingdom collector.

The carving detail here is exceptional — the scales, the motion, the sense of water and effort — in a material that photographs one way and impresses entirely differently in hand: crushed marble and resin, hand-painted to resemble ivory or carved wood. This piece predates the 1994 Harmony Kingdom contract and the HBC logo introduced in 1996, which means it carries no markings — but that early, unmarked provenance is exactly what makes it interesting to serious collectors. It was retired in September 1999.
