Rochard Umbrella Stand Limoges Box with Umbrellas

A stand full of umbrellas, ready by the front door for the next spring shower, takes shape in this Rochard Limoges box. It is hand-painted in Limoges, France, a small porcelain nod to rainy days and well-dressed entry halls.

Singing in the Rain

An umbrella stand is one of those everyday objects that quietly says a lot about a home, and this piece turns it into something to admire. The umbrellas gathered in the stand give it a cheerful, ready-for-anything look. Rochard paints each one by hand, so the colors and details vary slightly from piece to piece.

By the Front Door

• A Rochard design, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Comes as a stand holding umbrellas
• Joins rain boot, hat and coat rack pieces in a fashion or entry hall grouping

April Showers and Housewarmings

Place it on an entry table near the real umbrella stand, on a console in the front hall, or on a dresser beside a hat box. It makes a clever housewarming present, a fun choice for a friend who lives in Seattle or London, or a spring birthday surprise for someone who always carries an umbrella just in case. It also suits a fashion collector who appreciates accessories, from parasols to opera gloves. Whatever the weather outside, it brings a bit of rainy-day charm indoors.
