Rochard Mardi Gras Crown and Staff on Gold Limoges Box
A royal crown and staff rest on a gold base, ready to crown the king of Mardi Gras. This is a Rochard piece, a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box from Limoges, France, issued as a numbered limited edition of 750.
Long Live the Carnival King
Every Mardi Gras season, krewes in New Orleans and beyond crown their kings and queens with great ceremony. The crown and staff are symbols of that reign, a nod to parades, masked balls and king cake parties that fill the weeks before Lent.
The Rochard Celebration
Rochard is known for playful, festive subjects, and this regal piece fits that tradition well. The gold base gives it a rich, ceremonial look worthy of a carnival court.
