Black Musketeer Hat Limoges Box with Feather and Sword
A black musketeer's hat with a sweeping feather lies ready for adventure, with a sword alongside it in black and red. This hand-painted porcelain Limoges box from Limoges, France calls up the swordsmen of the Three Musketeers.
All for One on the Bookshelf
Alexandre Dumas gave the world d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, and their plumed hats became a symbol of French daring. This piece borrows that look: the broad hat, the feather and the blade, all set in porcelain instead of felt and steel.

A Salute for Fencers and Readers
Fencing club members, theater costume fans and readers of adventure novels make a natural audience. Place it on a bookshelf next to a worn copy of Dumas, on a study desk, or in a cabinet alongside other French themed pieces. It also makes a spirited present for a student finishing a French literature course, or for anyone who still quotes the famous motto.
Black and red is a bold pairing, and it gives the hat a dramatic presence that fits the swagger of its subject.
