Gold Flat Round Porcelain Limoges Box with Flowers
Gold tones and painted flowers come together on this flat round box, giving a simple shape a warm, gilded glow. Its flowers and gold tones were painted by hand in Limoges, France, on a porcelain Limoges box.
Gilded Garden
Gold brings instant warmth and a sense of celebration, and the floral painting keeps it soft and pretty rather than showy. The low round outline lets the design spread across the lid like sunlight on a flower bed.
Golden Pairings
- Pairs with the gold and white hexagon and gold flowers egg
- Complements the pink and gold striped flat round
- Looks rich beside brass candlesticks or a gilt mirror
Golden Moments
This is a natural pick for a fiftieth wedding anniversary, a golden birthday, or a retirement after many years of service. It also suits a graduation in a school's gold colors, or a thank-you for a friend whose heart, as the saying goes, is pure gold.
On a dresser, it keeps a pair of earrings close at hand, and on a curio shelf it adds a glint of warmth among cooler colors. Collectors who build a gold themed shelf often start with a flat round like this one.
