Old West Chuck Wagon Porcelain Limoges Box

An Old West chuck wagon rolls across the prairie, the kitchen on wheels that fed every cattle drive. This porcelain Limoges box was hand-painted in Limoges, France, as a salute to the cowboy trail.

Come and Get It

Charles Goodnight is credited with building the first chuck wagon in 1866, turning an Army wagon into a rolling pantry for his trail crew. The cook, called Cookie, ruled the camp, and his wagon became the gathering place at the end of every long day in the saddle. The wagon on this piece is painted by hand, so each one varies a little.

Around the Campfire

This is a fitting present for a rancher, a rodeo fan, a barbecue pitmaster, or a friend who reads every Louis L'Amour novel. It also suits a Texas or Wyoming native living far from home, a retiring cattleman, or a chuck wagon cook-off champion. Set it on a ranch house mantel, a study shelf beside a pair of spurs, or a kitchen with a cast iron skillet on the wall.
