Hidden Treasures are an award winning range of ornate enamel boxes from Arora Designs. Each box is hand cast in pewter, plated with either silver or 24 carat gold, and then hand painted with vibrantly coloured enamels, giving them a lustrous finish. The boxes are then decorated with Austrian crystals to give a jewel like finish.

The range includes limited editions, exclusives and editions produced under licence. Popular collections include The Wind in the Willows, Paddington Bear, The Snowman and The Wizard of Oz.
