Penhaligon’s 2012 Christmas Collection is inspired by the glittering traditions
of the London theatre scene. Each of the six exquisite boxes is festooned with
charming illustrations of Victorian theatre-goers enjoying the show as a
menagerie of animals run riot backstage.
The audience seems oblivious to the trumpeting elephant, cat choir and penguin percussionists; seemingly they’re too engrossed in the onstage antics to notice. Richly gilded and festooned with lavish gold tassels, the gifts evoke the interior of a Victorian theatre and ingeniously stack together to create an ornate display of mischief and mayhem.
