Construction Hard Hat and Tools Limoges Box by Rochard

A builder's hard hat rests beside the tools of the trade, ready for another day on the job site. Rochard turned this working scene into a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, made in Limoges, France.

Built to Last

Hat and tools are porcelain miniatures here, shaped together and finished with a brush rather than molded in plastic and steel. It is a salute to the people who frame houses, pour foundations and keep a city growing. Rochard has a whole line of profession pieces, and this one speaks to the trades in a way few porcelain boxes do.

From the Job Site to the Shelf

• A Rochard profession piece, hand-painted in Limoges
• Fits a building trade, engineering or contractor theme
• Pairs with toolbox, blueprint and fire helmet pieces

Topping Out Moments

Mark a promotion to foreman, a new contractor's license, a business opening, or a long-awaited retirement after decades of building. It also suits an engineer, architect or site manager who appreciates a nod to the field. Set it on an office desk, a bookshelf in a home study, or a shelf in a company lobby. For a family with a long line of builders, it makes a fitting keepsake to pass along.
