Porcelain Dresser Limoges Box with Hat and Book

A hat and a book rest on top of this porcelain dresser, as if someone just came home from an afternoon in town and set them down. The dresser is a Limoges box, crafted in Limoges, France, with its painted details applied by hand.

Bedroom Stories

Set it on a real dresser top beside a jewelry tray, on a bookshelf in a guest room, or in a curio cabinet with other miniature furniture. It makes a charming present for a milliner, a librarian, a woman who never leaves home without a hat, or someone furnishing a first apartment. Collectors who build miniature rooms often use this dresser as the anchor of the bedroom, adding a chair and a few small accents around it.
