Western Cowboy Boot Porcelain Box by Rochard Limoges

Dust off the spurs: this cowboy boot has walked straight off the ranch and onto the curio shelf. Rochard made it as a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box in Limoges, France, a single Western boot in miniature.

Saddle Up on the Shelf

The boot is porcelain from heel to shaft, shaped and then painted by hand. Western boots are one of the most recognizable pieces of American dress, and this one carries the look of rodeo arenas and long cattle drives into a tiny form. It is a fun crossover piece, French porcelain craft meeting a thoroughly American subject.

Rodeo Ready

• A Rochard design, painted in Limoges
• Belongs with Western, ranch and rodeo themed pieces
• Lines up nicely with other shoe and boot boxes

Home on the Range

Stand it on a desk in a ranch office, beside a horse figurine on a mantel, or in a cabinet full of shoe-shaped boxes. It suits a rider, a rodeo fan, a Texan far from home, or a country music devotee. It also works well as a birthday or retirement remembrance for someone who spent a lifetime around horses and cattle and still keeps a well-worn pair by the door.
