Bed with Nightgown Limoges Porcelain Box

A little bed with a nightgown laid across its covers makes up this Limoges box. Floral details and gold touches dress the headboard and spread, all hand-painted on porcelain in Limoges, France.

Ready for Lights Out

There is something restful about this scene. The nightgown waiting on the coverlet suggests a quiet evening, a freshly made room, and a long sleep ahead. The flowers and gold accents give the miniature a romantic, boudoir feel.

Bedside Company

This one belongs on a nightstand, a vanity tray or a dresser top, close to where the real day ends. It makes a thoughtful wedding or honeymoon present, a housewarming gesture for a couple's first home, or a sweet surprise for a friend who has just redecorated a guest room.

Miniature furniture has a loyal following among Limoges collectors, who often furnish whole porcelain rooms one piece at a time. A bed with a nightgown on it is an easy cornerstone for that kind of bedroom vignette, and it pairs well with a little porcelain slipper or jewelry chest nearby.
