Hand-Painted Monet Bridge Porcelain Limoges Box
Monet's famous bridge arches across this box, a nod to the Japanese footbridge in his garden at Giverny. The scene was hand-painted on porcelain in Limoges, France, as a small tribute to Impressionist art.
A Stroll Across Giverny
Claude Monet painted his water garden bridge again and again, and the image has become one of the best known in all of French art. Seeing it on a Limoges box brings a museum favorite down to tabletop scale, where it can be enjoyed every day instead of once a visit.

For the Gallery Goer
This is a fitting present for an art teacher, a museum member, or a gardener who dreams of water lilies. Place it on a desk below a framed print, on a library shelf beside art books, or in a sunny room where the painted colors look their best. Collectors who follow French painters often group it with other art scene boxes to create a small gallery of their own. Like the painting it honors, each box is finished by hand, so the brushwork is never exactly the same twice.
