Antique Motor Car Porcelain Limoges Box

Picture a sunny Sunday drive in the early days of the automobile, goggles on and the open road ahead. This antique motor car is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, honoring the machines that started the love affair with driving.

Horseless Carriage Days

Early cars were as much carriage as machine, and their tall, upright lines still turn heads at classic car shows. This porcelain version is painted by hand, so the body color and details carry small variations from car to car.

The Collector's Garage

Set it on a desk in a home office, on a bookshelf beside motoring books, or in a curio cabinet with other vehicle pieces such as trains, bicycles and vintage trucks. It looks especially good next to old photos of family cars.

For Those With Gasoline in Their Veins

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A good choice for a car restorer or vintage auto club member
• A fun way to celebrate a new driver or a retirement road trip

Mechanics, racing fans and anyone who has spent a weekend at a concours or car show will appreciate the nod to motoring history. It also makes a fine Father's Day present for the dad who still talks about his first car.
