Maroon Floral Large Jewelry Chest Limoges Box

Deep maroon porcelain sets off a pattern of flowers on this large jewelry chest, giving it the warm, traditional look of a Victorian parlor. It is a Limoges jewelry chest made in Limoges, France, roomy enough for rings, earrings and a favorite brooch.

Burgundy and Blossoms

Dark grounds have long been used on fine porcelain to make painted flowers stand out, and maroon is one of the richest of them. The color reads as both formal and cozy, suiting a bedroom with wood furniture, a dressing room with brass fittings, or a guest room decorated in deep jewel tones.

Heirloom Dresser Style

A jewelry chest like this tends to stay in a family, passed from mother to daughter along with a few of the pieces kept inside. It makes a considered present for a fortieth anniversary, a retirement or a big birthday, and it suits anyone who prefers classic furnishings to modern ones.

Place it on a mahogany dresser or a vanity with a skirted table, and the maroon will pick up on rugs, drapes and upholstery in the same family of colors. It is also a good choice for a first home, where a single well-made piece can set the tone for a room.
