Penicaud Montaigne Large Jewelry Chest Limoges, Edition of 50

The Montaigne is one of the larger jewelry chests to come from the Penicaud workshop, and one of the most tightly limited, with an edition of only 50. It is hand-painted porcelain made in Limoges, France, built to be the focal point of a room rather than a supporting player.

Named for a Philosopher

Michel de Montaigne, the sixteenth-century writer from Bordeaux, gave the world the essay and a habit of quiet reflection. A chest bearing his name feels suited to a reading room or a study as much as a bedroom, a place for heirloom rings and a few treasured letters.

Fifty and No More

An edition of 50 is very small by any standard, and it puts this chest in a different class from the open-stock boxes most collectors begin with. For anyone building a serious Penicaud collection, the Montaigne is the kind of piece that tends to be sought out by name.

A Room's Main Attraction

  • A Penicaud piece, hand-painted in Limoges, France, in an edition of 50
  • The centerpiece of a Penicaud or fine French porcelain collection
  • Made for a dresser top, library table or lit display cabinet

It suits a landmark occasion: a fiftieth birthday, a golden anniversary or a long-awaited retirement. Placed where light can reach it, the hand-painted surfaces show their full depth.
