Triple Hinged Christmas Tree Porcelain Limoges Box

A Christmas tree that is triple hinged, a construction detail that makes it stand apart from the usual single lid design, brings holiday cheer to any shelf as a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box from the workshops of Limoges, France.

Three Hinges, One Evergreen

Most Limoges boxes open on a single hinge, so a triple hinged design is something collectors notice right away. Paired with the familiar shape of a Christmas tree, it makes a holiday piece with a little more to explore. Since the painting is done by hand, each tree has its own small differences in shading and trim.

Trimming the Holiday Shelf

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Triple hinged, as listed for this piece
• Joins Santa, sleigh, ornament and stocking subjects

Deck the Mantel

Place it on the mantel among evergreen garland, on a side table beside the real tree, or in a curio cabinet that switches to holiday pieces each December. It makes a festive present for a holiday host, a Christmas collector who loves unusual constructions, or a family marking their first tree in a new home. The tree also works in winter displays well into January, long after the decorations come down.
