Washington DC Monuments Rochard Limoges Box

The landmarks of Washington, D.C. gather on one hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, from the great monuments of the National Mall to the halls of government. Rochard made it in Limoges, France, as a tribute to the nation's capital.

A Walk Along the Mall

A trip to Washington usually means long walks between the Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial, with the Washington Monument rising in between. This box sums up that walk in one piece. The architectural details are painted by hand, so each finished box has slight variations.

Capital Remembrances

• A Rochard piece, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Joins Statue of Liberty, flag and eagle subjects
• Suits an American history, civics or travel collection

For Public Servants and History Buffs

Give it to a congressional staffer, a government retiree, a civics or history teacher, or a student back from a school trip to the capital. It also suits a veteran who visited the memorials on an Honor Flight, a lawyer admitted to the bar, or a family that saw the cherry blossoms together. A desk, a study bookcase or a shelf with American flags is the natural home for it.
