Tall Round Limoges Box in Blue and Gold

Tall and round, this porcelain box is dressed in blue and gold, a stately pairing that suits a formal room. It was hand-painted in Limoges, France, and its height gives it real presence among shorter traditional boxes.

Standing Tall in Blue

Where most round boxes sit low, this one rises upward, which lets it hold the back row of a display without disappearing. The blue and gold scheme recalls the formal porcelain once set on French palace tables.

Where Height Helps

Place it at the back of a china cabinet, on a library shelf or at one end of a mantel where its height balances a row of smaller boxes. It makes a dignified present for a retirement, a milestone anniversary or a host who decorates in classic navy and gold. Someone setting up a first formal dining room would also appreciate a piece this handsome. Paired with candlesticks and a few books, it gives a shelf a finished, considered look.
