Rochard Fairy Tale European Castle Limoges Box

A European castle straight out of an old fairy tale becomes a storybook setting in hand-painted porcelain. It is a Rochard Limoges box, made in Limoges, France.

Once Upon a Hilltop

Across Europe, castles crown river valleys and mountain ridges, from the chateaux of the Loire to the fortresses along the Rhine. Many inspired the princesses, knights and dragons of the stories we grew up reading. This piece gathers that sense of legend into a single shape that reads as a castle at first glance.

Guarding the Curio Kingdom

• A Rochard travel piece, painted by hand in Limoges, France
• Fits a fairy tale, medieval history or European travel collection
• Pairs well with Tower of London, unicorn and crown boxes

A Tower on the Bookshelf

Give it a place beside a shelf of fairy tale volumes, a travel journal from a European tour or a collection of world landmarks. It makes a lovely present for a traveler home from the Rhine or the Loire Valley, a reader who loves legends and quests, or a bride planning a castle wedding.
