Rochard Monet Handbag Limoges Box, Bridge and Water Lily

Monet's beloved Japanese bridge and water lilies decorate this handbag-shaped porcelain Limoges box. Rochard painted it by hand in Limoges, France, turning a fashion accessory shape into a small tribute to Impressionism.

A Walk Across the Japanese Bridge

At Giverny, Monet built an arched footbridge over his lily pond and painted it again and again, through every season and every shift of light. Those canvases are among the most beloved paintings in the world. Here the scene wraps around a purse silhouette, a nice blend of art and fashion.

Gallery or Dressing Table

Place it on a dressing table, a vanity tray or a shelf beside art books and museum catalogs. It makes a thoughtful present for a painter, an art lover with a weakness for handbags, a museum docent, or a traveler home from a day at Monet's garden.
