Rochard Royal Guard Sentinel Limoges Box

Standing at attention outside a royal residence, the British sentinel is one of the most photographed figures in London. Rochard made this guard as a hand-painted porcelain figurine box, made in Limoges, France.

On Duty at the Palace

The guards who keep watch at the royal palaces of the United Kingdom are famous for their discipline, standing perfectly still while crowds gather for photographs. The changing of the guard draws visitors from around the world, and this figure brings a bit of that ceremony home to a shelf.

Souvenir of the Crown

This makes a fitting memento for someone back from a London trip, a family with British roots, a fan of the royal family or a veteran of the British armed forces. Place it on a study bookcase among travel guides, on a desk beside a framed photo of the palace gates, or in a curio cabinet with other world landmark boxes. It also suits an anglophile who hosts afternoon tea and likes a touch of Britain on the sideboard.
