Rochard Hand-Painted Tower of London Castle Limoges Box

Nearly a thousand years of English history stand behind the Tower of London, the stone fortress on the north bank of the Thames. Rochard captures the British castle in a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France.

Ravens, Beefeaters and Crown Jewels

William the Conqueror began the White Tower in the 1070s, and over the centuries the site served as royal palace, prison and treasury. Today the Yeoman Warders lead tours, the resident ravens keep watch and the Crown Jewels draw crowds from around the world. Few places pack in so many stories.

Within the Castle Walls

• A Rochard travel piece, painted by hand in Limoges, France
• Fits a British travel, castle or English history collection
• Pairs well with London cab, phone booth and Queen Elizabeth boxes

A Fortress for the Study

Place it on a library shelf beside histories of the Tudors, a desk with photos from a London trip or a curio filled with British landmarks. It makes a fine present for a history teacher, a Tudor buff, an Anglophile friend or a traveler just back from England.
