Rochard Jeweled Royal Crown Porcelain Limoges Box

A royal crown set with jewels sits proudly in porcelain on this Rochard Limoges box, fit for a coronation or a queen of the household. Rochard hand-painted it in Limoges, France.

Heavy Is the Head

Crowns have marked kings and queens for thousands of years, from the jeweled diadems of Byzantium to the crown jewels kept in the Tower of London. This box captures that regal symbol in miniature, with its jewels adding sparkle and color.

The Royal Treasury

• A Rochard design, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Fits a royalty, England or travel collection
• Pairs with castle, scepter, throne and Big Ben boxes

A Crown for Every Queen

It makes a playful present for the queen of the family on her birthday, a retiring boss who ran the office, a pageant winner, a prom queen or a bride on her wedding day. Royal watchers and anglophiles enjoy it too, especially around a coronation or jubilee. Set it on a vanity, a bookcase or a shelf with other travel and royalty pieces.

A Royal Lineage of Its Own

Small porcelain boxes rose to fashion in 18th-century France, where courtiers carried them for snuff, pills and beauty patches. A crown-shaped box brings that courtly history full circle.
