Gold and Silver Purse Porcelain Limoges Box

A purse finished in gleaming gold and silver brings the glamour of a night at the opera to a dressing table. This porcelain box was decorated by hand in Limoges, France.

Evening Bag Glamour

Metallic clutches have been the finishing touch for evening wear since the jazz age, catching the light on dance floors and at gala dinners. This purse captures that sparkle in porcelain, with gold and silver tones applied by hand, so each one has its own subtle shimmer.

Black Tie Pairings

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A purse shape in gold and silver
• Pairs with perfume, dress form and other purse boxes

Red Carpet on the Vanity

Set it on a mirrored vanity tray, a dresser beside a jewelry box or a shelf in a walk-in closet. Its metallic finish looks especially fine among crystal and silver accents, and it adds a dressy note to a collection of more colorful purse designs.

Give it to a friend heading to a black tie gala, a bride for her wedding day, or someone celebrating a 25th silver or 50th golden anniversary, since it neatly combines both. It also suits a New Year's Eve hostess or anyone who loves a little sparkle in every outfit. Handbag collectors tend to treat it as the evening star of their lineup.
