Eiffel Tower on an Artist Easel Limoges Box

An artist's easel holds a painting of the Eiffel Tower in this porcelain box, bringing together two great French loves: art and Paris. The Limoges box was painted by hand in Limoges, France, so the canvas on the easel is a true hand-painted work.

Painting the City of Light

Generations of artists have set up easels along the Seine to capture the tower against the sky. This piece recalls those painters in Montmartre and on the riverbanks, working in the open air with Paris as their model.

An Easel by the Seine

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits an art, painter or Paris collection
• Pairs with paint palette, beret and golden Eiffel Tower pieces

A Gallery on the Shelf

Set it in a studio, on a bookshelf of art books or on a desk beside sketchbooks. It makes a fitting present for an art teacher, a painter celebrating a first gallery show, a francophile friend, or a couple who honeymooned in Paris.

Collectors of art themed pieces and Paris pieces both claim this one, so it often becomes the link that ties two groupings together on the same shelf.
