Telephone Limoges Figurine Box in Sevre Roses Pattern

An old-fashioned telephone has been reimagined in porcelain and covered in the Sevre roses pattern. It is a hand-painted Limoges figurine box made in Limoges, France, and the telephone body itself forms the box.

A Call From the Rose Garden

The Sevre roses pattern shows up on a whole family of Limoges shapes, from eggs to hearts to watering cans. On this telephone, the painted blooms follow the curves of the piece, turning a household object into something you would rather look at than answer.

Who Will Pick It Up

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A natural fit for a Sevre roses or household objects collection
• Pairs well with rose pattern eggs, hearts and watering cans

Ringing in the Hallway

A writing desk, a hall table near the real phone, or a shelf in a sitting room all suit this piece. It makes a warm housewarming present, a retirement remembrance for a longtime receptionist or switchboard operator, or a Mother's Day surprise for the mom who still keeps a landline. Collectors of the rose pattern tend to gather several shapes, and a telephone is one of the more unexpected ones to add to the set.
