A compact artist’s treasure with old-world charm
→ A rare pairing for collectors, creatives, and vintage studio lovers.

A beautifully preserved Winsor & Newton No.3 Bijou Box, complete with its original packaging, paired with a vintage Langton spiral-bound sketchpad made by the Daler Board Co. in Dorset. The watercolour set is a classic of British artistry, with its gold-lettered textured brown case, a classic design beloved by plein air painters and collectors alike.

The Langton pad features 12 sheets of 140 lb Bockingford paper (10x7 inches), with a pebbled grey cover and bold black print. This unused pad was made in Wareham, Dorset, and makes a tactile companion to the pocket-sized paintbox.

This pairing is not only functional but display-worthy — ideal for gifting, styling in an art-inspired interior, or sparking a return to brush and pigment.
