Flat Rectangle Pompadour Limoges Box with Pink Flowers
Slim, flat and rectangular, this Madame Pompadour box keeps a low silhouette while pink flowers bloom across its lid. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and it is one of the sleekest shapes in the Pompadour style.
Low and Lovely
A flat rectangle has a quiet, tailored look, a little like a compact or a calling card case from another era. The pink florals soften those straight edges. Next to taller Pompadour pieces, its slim profile adds variety to a matched grouping.

Writing Desk Elegance
Lay it on a writing desk next to a fountain pen, slip it onto a narrow mantel ledge, or set it on a dressing table among silver brushes. The low shape suits spaces where a taller box would feel crowded. It suits a birthday for a francophile, a thank you for a maid of honor, or a Mother's Day morning in May.
The Painter's Turn
Like most Limoges boxes, it was painted by hand after the white porcelain was fired, then fitted with its metal mount by hand.
