Red Limoges Box with Flowers and Gold

Bold red forms the ground of this rectangular box, with painted flowers and gold accents adding warmth and polish. Each detail was finished by hand in Limoges, France, on a porcelain Limoges box that makes a confident statement.

Scarlet and Gold Garden

Red with gold is a classic pairing in French decoration, seen on theater curtains, palace salons and holiday ribbon alike. Flowers soften the strong color and give it a romantic note. Painting and gilding are done by hand, so the blooms and gold details shift slightly from box to box.

Valentines and Holidays

It is a natural choice for Valentine's Day, a ruby anniversary or a Christmas present for someone who decorates in red. The rectangle sits neatly on a dresser, a desk or a mantel among evergreens. Placed in a lit cabinet, the gold catches the light and the red glows, making it a focal point among softer pieces.
