Heart boxes, pewter gifts handmade by Glover and Smith

"A heart to love, and in that heart,
Courage, to make love known."
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth


The heart is a symbol of love and also vulnerability and the traditional heart shape has long been used as a symbol of the spiritual, emotional and moral care of a human being.

The original sketch for the heart box

In the Renaissance and later in the Baroque age the heart on a coat of arms stood for eternal faithfulness and courage.
In Roman times and even up to the 1500’s, the word Valentine meant the name of a person picked from a box to be your sweetheart. Around 1533, it became a folded piece of paper with the sweetheart’s name on it. By 1610, it had become the gift, given to that special person and by 1824 it had become the poem, letter or verse to a sweetheart that we know today.
