Rochard Mother Turtle and Baby Limoges Box
A mother turtle carries on at her own steady pace, with her little one keeping close. Rochard made the pair as a Limoges box, the shells and skin painted by hand in Limoges, France.
Slow and Steady Love
Turtles are symbols of patience, long life and wisdom in cultures around the world, and a mother with her baby adds a note of tenderness. Rochard's design is calm and gentle, perfect for anyone who appreciates that good things take time. The patterning on the shells is applied with a fine brush.

Gifts That Take Their Time
It suits Mother's Day, a baby shower, or a grandmother welcoming a new grandchild. Beach house owners, marine biologists and volunteers who protect nesting sea turtles will appreciate it, too. Set it on a coastal-themed shelf, a nursery dresser, or a desk where its message of patience can be a daily reminder. It also marks a slow but sure achievement, like finishing a degree later in life.
