Art and Paintings Limoges Boxes
Painting Limoges boxes carry the work of the Impressionists onto a lid no bigger than a coaster. Monet's water lilies, his Japanese bridge and a woman with a parasol are painted with the same soft touch as the originals. The collection also includes several Star of David boxes in blue and white for Hanukkah and other occasions.
Giverny on a Hinged Lid
Rochard leads the Monet pieces, with a frog on a lily pad, a white swan among the water lilies and a painter's easel. Each painter in Limoges, France copies the master's palette in miniature, which takes a steady hand and good light. The Hanukkah book adds a Star of David for the holiday table.
City Views on the Easel
Artist easels hold little canvases of New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia and the open sea, plus a Rochard tribute to the new World Trade Center tower. These pieces make a natural fit for someone who grew up in one of those cities, or who just came home from a trip there. Many boxes open to show a small surprise piece inside.
A Gallery Wall That Fits a Shelf
Hang the real prints on the wall and set the porcelain versions beneath them. A painter, an art teacher or the friend who spends every vacation in museums would gladly find room for one.
