Chantilly Light Blue Jewelry Chest Limoges, Limited Edition

Pale sky blue gives the Chantilly jewelry chest a calm, airy look, as gentle as the lace that shares its name. It was made in Limoges, France, as a limited edition, with painted porcelain shaped into a roomy chest rather than a small trinket box.

Named for Chantilly

Chantilly is a town north of Paris famous for its chateau, its racecourse, its fine bobbin lace and the whipped cream that carries its name. A chest called Chantilly promises softness and refinement, and the light blue finish delivers on that promise.

A Calm Corner

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France, made as a limited edition
• Suits a blue bedroom, nursery-turned-guest room or coastal decor
• Holds everyday rings, studs and a watch

Gentle Gifting

This chest makes a lovely present for a bride whose colors are blue, a mother who prefers soft shades, or a friend moving into a beach house. Its quiet color keeps it from overwhelming a room, so it fits easily on a dresser, a vanity or a bedroom chest of drawers.

Fashion of the French Court

Small porcelain boxes first became the fashion in 18th-century France, carried for snuff, pills and the tiny beauty patches worn at court. Jewelry chests like the Chantilly grew out of that same taste for beautiful containers, scaled up for modern dressing tables.
