Sacre Coeur Basilica of Paris Porcelain Limoges Box

The pale domes of the basilica that crowns the hill of Montmartre rise from this porcelain box, rounded and white against the Paris sky. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, with its architectural details picked out by hand in Limoges, France.

Up the Steps of Montmartre

Visitors climb hundreds of steps to reach Sacre Coeur, then turn around for one of the best views of the city. This box captures the building itself, with its tall central dome and smaller towers, in a size that fits in a palm.

Postcard From the Butte

It is a lovely memento after a trip to Paris, a honeymoon souvenir, or a reminder of a semester spent abroad. Francophiles and people of faith both find meaning in it. Display it on a mantel with framed photos from the trip, or group it with other monuments to build a little skyline of the city on a bookshelf.

The white basilica stands out especially well against a dark wood shelf.
