Americana Collectors
Some folks fly the flag on the Fourth of July, and others keep red, white and blue on display all year. For the patriot, the veteran, the history teacher or the brand-new citizen, Limoges Americana boxes are proud little gifts with old-fashioned charm. Each one is hand-painted in France, a fitting nod to America's oldest ally, and hinged with a hidden space inside. It arrives gift-boxed, ready for a homecoming, a citizenship ceremony or the backyard parade.
Expect a full parade of national pride. Look for Uncle Sam's hat, American flag hearts and squares, a "Don't Tread on Me" flag and a 1776 design. Landmarks stand tall too, from Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty to the White House, the Pentagon and the Texas Capitol. A USA teddy bear with a baseball, a flag backpack, an Old West chuck wagon, a firefighter's hat and a pair of very patriotic pigs round things out. Each lid opens to hold a lapel pin, a medal ribbon or a folded note.
Americana is one of the richest themes in collecting, and porcelain boxes sit happily beside folk art and vintage campaign buttons. Collect by landmark, by symbol or by holiday, or build a set around a home state. Line them up on the mantel with bunting for the Fourth, gather them on a wooden tray beside a framed flag or keep them in a curio cabinet next to family service photos. Add one every Independence Day and you'll have a tradition worth saluting.
