Penicaud Opera Jewelry Chest Limoges Box, Limited Edition

The Opera chest is a Penicaud jewelry chest issued as a limited edition, with a name that calls up red velvet seats and a night at the Palais Garnier. It is hand-painted porcelain made in Limoges, France, and its chest form gives it more stage presence than a small round box.

Curtain Up

Opera nights have always been an excuse to bring out the best jewelry, which makes the name a clever fit for a chest meant to hold it. Picture it on a dressing table, waiting with a pair of drop earrings and an evening bracelet for the next performance.

Penicaud in the Spotlight

• A Penicaud limited edition, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Suits a jewelry chest, vanity or performing arts theme
• Sits well on a dressing table or inside a lit glass cabinet

For the Season Ticket Holder

This is a natural choice for an opera subscriber, a symphony patron, a singer or a theater professional. It also makes a lovely anniversary or Valentine's Day present for someone who already owns Limoges and is ready for a more substantial piece.

Penicaud collectors tend to know their chests by name, and the Opera has a following among those who like to pair their porcelain with the arts. Grouped with programs, a pair of opera glasses or a framed playbill, it turns a corner of the room into a small tribute to the stage.
