Tiger on Oval Hand-Painted Limoges Box

Striped and powerful, a tiger sits atop an oval porcelain box in this bold wildlife piece. The design has been retired, and the box was painted by hand in Limoges, France.

King of the Oval

The oval form is a Limoges classic, and setting a tiger on top turns it into a small stage for one of nature's most striking animals. The stripes and the sheer confidence of the big cat give the piece real presence.

Safari Shelf Notes

• A retired design featuring a tiger on an oval box

The Wild Side of the Study

It looks well in a study with travel books, on an office credenza, or in a cabinet of big cat figures. It suits a tiger fan's birthday, a retirement after a long career, or a thank you to someone who supports wildlife causes.

A strong, simple design that brings a touch of the jungle to an ordinary shelf, and it holds the eye from across the room.
