Boy and Girl on a Bridge Rochard Limoges Box

A boy and a girl meet on a little bridge in this sweet Rochard scene. The figures stand above a porcelain base that forms the box, and the whole piece is hand-painted in Limoges, France.

Meet Me on the Bridge

Bridges have always been a place for meetings, promises and first conversations, and Rochard uses that idea in miniature. Two young sweethearts pause together over the arch, a small moment frozen in porcelain. Each figure is painted by hand, so the faces and colors vary a little from piece to piece.

A Story for Two

• A Rochard design from the Limoges workshops
• Fits a romance, sweetheart or people and figures grouping
• Pairs well with wedding, heart and love letter boxes

Anniversaries and First Dates

Couples who met young, or who shared a first walk over a bridge, often see their own story in this box. It makes a thoughtful anniversary present, a Valentine's Day surprise or a tender way to mark an engagement. On a dresser or a bedroom shelf it serves as a quiet reminder of where things began.

Small boxes like this one first became fashionable in 18th-century France, when snuff, pills and beauty patches were carried in porcelain. Today they carry memories instead.
