Hunting Horn Porcelain Limoges Box

The great curled hunting horn, the trompe de chasse, has called riders to the field in France for centuries, and here it takes the form of a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box. It was made and painted in Limoges, France.

Sounding the Call at Dawn

The French hunting horn is coiled in wide loops so a rider can carry it over the shoulder. Its music still opens hunts and country festivals, and horn ensembles play at weddings and church services across rural France. This box honors that tradition in a form small enough to hold in one hand.

Riding to Hounds Indoors

Display it in a study with sporting prints, on a mantel beside a pair of riding boots or in a tack room office. It suits a member of a hunt club, a French horn player, a horse person who loves country traditions, or a friend with a cabin full of antlers and plaid.

Fanfare for a Country Shelf

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a hunt country, equestrian or sporting collection
• Pairs well with horse, hound and fox pieces

Musicians appreciate it as much as hunters do, and it makes a thoughtful present for a brass player finishing a season with an orchestra or band. The sweep of its curves is what draws people in.
