Rochard Eiffel Tower Limoges Box in Brown, I Love Paris Inside

The Eiffel Tower rises in warm brown porcelain, and inside, a hidden I Love Paris message waits for whoever lifts the lid. Rochard hand-paints this Limoges box in Limoges, France, a little piece of the City of Light to bring home.

A Secret Message Inside

From the outside it is the tower everyone knows, the iron lattice landmark built for the 1889 World's Fair. Open it and the I Love Paris greeting appears, a private note meant for its owner. The brown tone recalls the tower's own painted iron, and Rochard brushes each piece by hand.

For Every Paris Dreamer

Give it to someone just back from a first trip to Paris, a couple honeymooning in France, a French teacher, or a friend still dreaming of the trip. It also suits a bon voyage party or a graduation for a student heading abroad. Set it on a bookshelf with travel guides, a dresser beside a framed photo from the Trocadéro, or a mantel full of souvenirs.

Many Limoges boxes are painted by hand after the white porcelain is fired, so the message inside this tower was added by a painter, one letter at a time.
