Small Oval Limoges Box with Pink Pompadour Flowers
Pink flowers in the Madame de Pompadour style grace this small oval, a nod to the most famous patron of French porcelain. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, sized small and painted with care.
In the Style of Pompadour
Madame de Pompadour, the influential companion of King Louis XV, championed French porcelain at Sevres, and her love of pink became so linked with her name that a shade was named after her. This small oval honors that taste with soft pink blooms. It brings a touch of the French court to a modern vanity.
Versailles on the Vanity

Small Oval, Big Sentiment
Being small, it fits easily on a dressing table, a bedside tray or a curio shelf among larger pieces. It is a charming present for a history buff, a Francophile, a bride's mother or a friend whose favorite color is pink. A pair of earrings or a pill fits inside, just as small boxes were used at the French court.
