Dark Blue Square Rochard Limoges Box with Rose and Gold

Deep, evening-sky blue gives this small square real weight, while rose and gold touches keep it from feeling heavy. Rochard paints it by hand in Limoges, France, as a porcelain Limoges box that stands out in any grouping.

Midnight Blue and Gilded Rose

Gold always glows a little brighter against a dark ground, and that is exactly what happens here. The rose accents soften the look, so the box feels rich without turning formal. Next to its light blue twin, which uses the same rose and gold scheme, it shows the same design by day and by night.

For the Study and the Den

Dark blue suits rooms with wood paneling, leather chairs and full bookcases. Set it on a desk beside a fountain pen, on a library shelf, or inside a cabinet with brass hardware. It makes a handsome present for a graduate heading to a new office, a father who likes navy, or a couple celebrating a sapphire anniversary.
