White Chest Limoges Box with Painted Roses

Soft roses scattered across a white porcelain chest give this Limoges box the feel of a linen-and-lace bedroom from another era. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, simple in shape and classic in spirit.

Roses on a Snowy Ground

White porcelain is the perfect canvas for flowers, and here the roses stand out cleanly against the pale chest. The look is traditional rather than trendy, the kind of piece that suits a grandmother's dresser as well as a newly married couple's first bedroom.

A Chest for Small Treasures

A chest shape invites you to tuck something meaningful inside: a pair of earrings, a ring set aside for washing up, or a folded note from someone dear. Set it on a vanity, a nightstand or a guest room dresser. It makes a gracious bridal shower present, a Mother's Day surprise, or a thank-you for a bridesmaid.

The Porcelain Behind the Petals

Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain, fired at very high heat, which gives the white body its clean, bright finish. That whiteness is exactly what lets painted roses like these glow.
