Safari and Jungle Limoges Boxes
Safari animal Limoges boxes bring the savanna and the jungle into the study with no malaria pills required. Bengal tigers prowl through painted grass, a royal elephant raises its trunk, and a spotted leopard waits on its perch. The heavyweights are all present, with a rhinoceros, a Rochard hippopotamus, a cheetah on a log, a black panther and a majestic big cat. Rochard mother and baby pairs cover the zebra, the giraffe, the camel, the antelope and the hippo wading in water. An Australian kangaroo and a monkey wearing blue jeans keep the mood light.
The expedition gear has its own row. An African safari truck, a safari jeep, a pith helmet and a map box with binoculars could outfit any porcelain guide. An elephant in a tuxedo, a hippopotamus banker and the three wise monkeys add some dry humor. Every piece is Hand-Painted porcelain from Limoges, France, closed with a hinged lid and a small metal clasp. Group the cats on one shelf and the herds on another, or line them up like a field guide, and they suit the traveler home from Kenya and anyone who still dreams of the trip.
