Beach, Sailing and Boats Limoges Boxes
Sailing and beach Limoges boxes bring the harbor indoors without any sand in the rug. The fleet includes a large sailboat, a Rochard speed boat, a paddle wheel river boat and a cruise liner with its life ring. Beacon fans can chart a whole coastline. Cape Hatteras keeps its spiral stripes, Nantucket stands beside a little boat, and Harbor Town at Hilton Head shows its red and white bands. Others sit on rocks or in the middle of town.
For the man who fishes, there is a fisherman in his boat, and for the woman who surfs there is a rider on a curling wave. Shore days get their own pieces: a blue beach chair with an umbrella, an Adirondack chair with a sun hat and shades, a cabana hut, a tiki hut and a palm tree with a seat beneath it. Seashells in blue and gold or brown open on hinged lids, and many of these boxes hide a tiny charm under the clasp. Shaped and painted by hand in Limoges, France, they sit well on a mantel that looks out on water, or one that only wishes it did. Give a sailboat to a new skipper, a cruise ship for a bon voyage, or a lighthouse for the cottage guest book.
