Maroon and Gold Striped Porcelain Egg Limoges Box, Floral
Rich maroon and gold stripes wrap around this porcelain egg, with painted flowers adding softness to the bold color. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and its palette leans warm and wine-dark.
Wine-Dark and Gilded
Decorated eggs have a long history in European decorative arts, from imperial Russia to French court gifts. This one trades pastel spring colors for maroon and gold, a combination that feels at home in autumn and through the holidays.
Seasons Beyond Easter
Its deep tones make it a good fit for a Thanksgiving table, a Christmas curio display or a fall mantel among brass candlesticks. It also suits a library or dining room with burgundy upholstery, where pastel eggs might look out of place. Consider it for a fortieth anniversary, a birthday for someone who loves jewel tones, or a hostess who sets a formal table.
