Valentine Rose and Sweetheart Limoges Boxes
Valentine Limoges boxes give February the roses that never wilt, painted by hand across purses, eggs, chests and candlesticks. Young sweethearts tucked in bed, a heart of love and Rochard kissing chicks keep the theme plain and sincere. This is a collection that solves the annual question of what to bring home on the fourteenth.
A Dozen Roses That Stay Put
Roses run through nearly every piece here. Gold roses on a purse, purple roses on a green bag and yellow roses on a candlestick each come from the brush of a painter in Limoges, France. An opening rosebud and a Sevres style frame of roses hold a favorite photo of the two of you.
Hinged for a Promise
Brass clasps hold each lid shut, and many of the boxes keep a little surprise piece inside, like a tiny heart or a love letter. A striped burgundy egg with roses and a white chest painted with blooms are good places to hide a ring before the question.
For the Fourteenth and Beyond
Leave the box on her nightstand with a short note under the lid. Husbands, boyfriends and longtime partners can add a new one every year until the dresser fills up with a record of every February together.
