Rochard African Safari Animals Limoges Box

The great animals of Africa gather on this Rochard Limoges box, bringing the drama of the savanna into a small porcelain piece. It is hand-painted in Limoges, France, and it captures the spirit of a safari without leaving home.

Out on the Savanna

From the grasslands of the Serengeti to the waterholes of Botswana, Africa's wildlife has fascinated travelers for generations. Rochard brings a group of these animals together in one scene, making this a natural centerpiece for a wildlife collection. Each one is painted by hand, so the animals and their colors vary slightly from box to box.

From Kenya to the Curio Cabinet

This makes a meaningful memento after a safari in Kenya, Tanzania or South Africa, or a present for someone planning that once-in-a-lifetime trip. It also suits a zookeeper, a wildlife photographer, a conservation volunteer, or a friend who never misses a nature documentary. Set it on a study bookshelf with travel journals, in a curio cabinet beside carved wooden animals, or on a desk under a framed map of the continent.

Shaped in the Limousin

Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat, which gives painters a strong and bright white surface. It is one reason small boxes from this region have lasted so well.
