Rochard Moulin Rouge Windmill of Montmartre Limoges Box

The red windmill of the Moulin Rouge turns above the streets of Montmartre on this Rochard porcelain box, bringing Paris nightlife to a single small piece. It was painted by hand in Limoges, France.

Under the Red Sails

Since the Belle Epoque, the Moulin Rouge has been the most famous cabaret in Paris, home of the cancan and a favorite subject for painters like Toulouse-Lautrec. Its windmill still marks the spot at the foot of the Montmartre hill, and Rochard gives that famous landmark a place on the shelf.

A Night in Montmartre

This is a fine keepsake after a trip to Paris, a show at the cabaret, or an evening spent wandering up the hill toward Sacre Coeur. It also suits a dancer, a theater fan or someone who loves Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. Place it on a bookshelf with Paris guidebooks, on a vanity, or on a bar cart near a bottle of French bubbly.
