Chopin Polonaise Musical Horse Limoges Box

A musical horse prances in honor of Chopin's Polonaise, bringing a lively rhythm to the shelf. The horse was hand-painted on porcelain in Limoges, France, to make this Limoges box with a carnival spirit.

A Polonaise in Porcelain

Frederic Chopin wrote his polonaises as proud, dancing tributes to his Polish homeland, and their stately rhythm has thrilled concert audiences for nearly two centuries. Linking that music with a horse brings to mind fairground rides and parade steeds moving in time to a grand tune.

Prancing to the Music

• Musical horse with a Chopin Polonaise theme
• Fits a music, horse or carnival collection
• Pairs with piano, carousel and composer pieces

For the Pianist in the Family

Set it on a piano beside sheet music, on a shelf in a music room, or among horse figures in a den. It makes a fine present for a piano teacher, a student after a big recital, a Chopin admirer, or a horse fan who also loves classical music. Polish families may enjoy the nod to one of their country's most famous sons. Each horse is painted by hand, so its colors vary a little from one piece to another.
