Happy Anniversary Cherubs on a Heart Limoges Box

Two cherubs settle on a heart lettered Happy Anniversary in this romantic Limoges box. The heart and its little guardians are hand-painted on porcelain in Limoges, France.

Cupid's Helpers

Cherubs have watched over sweethearts in painting and sculpture for centuries, and here they seem to be celebrating right along with the couple. The inscription makes the message plain, so the piece is ready to mark a milestone without any card at all.

Counting the Years Together

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a heart, cherub or wedding collection
• Pairs with doves, wedding bells and champagne shapes

Milestones Worth Marking

Choose it for a first anniversary, a silver or golden celebration, or a vow renewal. Adult sons and daughters often give a piece like this to their parents at an anniversary dinner, and couples sometimes exchange it with a note or a small piece of jewelry tucked inside.

It looks lovely on a bedroom dresser next to the wedding portrait, on a mantel during an anniversary party, or in a china cabinet beside the toasting flutes. Collectors who gather romantic pieces often keep one anniversary box on display all year, and the cherubs make this one feel warm rather than formal. It is a small reminder, every time someone walks by, of the years a couple has built together.
