Rochard Three Horses Hand-Painted Limoges Box

Three horses stand together as one group in this Rochard Limoges box, a small herd caught in porcelain. They are modeled and painted by hand in Limoges, France, with the trio forming the body of the box.

A Herd of Three

Horses are social animals that rarely stand alone in a pasture, and grouping them here gives the piece a sense of companionship. Rochard is known for animal subjects with plenty of character, and the brushwork on each horse is done by hand, so every finished box has its own slight variations.

Pasture Mates

• A Rochard design, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Belongs in an equestrian, ranch or farm animal collection
• Pairs well with saddle, horseshoe and foal pieces

From the Barn to the Bookshelf

This trio fits a tack room shelf, a home office or a glass cabinet in a horse family's living room. It is a natural present for a riding instructor at the end of the season, three siblings who learned to ride together, or a friend who has just bought a first horse. It also suits a rider's birthday or a retirement from years of competing.
