Gold Roses Purse Limoges Box

Gold roses glow across the face of this porcelain purse, set off by brass accents that echo their warm shine. It is a Limoges box shaped like a handbag, painted by hand in Limoges, France.

Fifty Years in Gold

Gold roses have long stood for lasting devotion, which makes this purse a natural fit for a golden wedding anniversary. The metallic petals catch light from different angles, so the piece changes a little as you walk past it. Compared with the pastel purses in the same family, it has a dressier, more formal air.

Gilded Florals on Display

Put it in a lighted curio cabinet or on a glass shelf, where the gold can pick up the glow. It also looks right on a formal dining room sideboard next to gilt-edged china or a crystal candy dish.

Pairs With

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Other gold-toned or brass trimmed handbag boxes
• Rose themed pieces for a wedding or anniversary grouping

Every rose is painted by hand, so the shading on each blossom is a little different from one purse to the next.
