Chamart Beatle Bug Hand-Painted Limoges Box
A sturdy little beetle, shell and all, crawls into the collection as a cheerful garden critter. This Chamart design is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, made in Limoges, France.
Bugging the Bookshelf
Beetles are some of the most varied creatures on earth, and collectors of insect figurines love them for their tidy, armored shapes. This one has a rounded back and a busy, purposeful look, as if it is on its way somewhere important. It is a small piece with plenty of personality.

Small critters like this beetle are easy to slip between larger figurines, and they reward anyone who looks closely at a shelf.
