Artists & Art Lovers
There is something delightful about handing a painter a gift that was itself painted by hand. Our Limoges boxes for artists and art lovers are brushed with color in France, fitted with a tiny hinge and arrive gift-boxed. Give one to the watercolorist, the art teacher, the gallery volunteer or the friend who drags you to every new museum exhibit. Each one is a little original, made in the most portable format imaginable. It is art you can actually hold in your palm.
Painters' tools take the spotlight, with palettes and brushes, watercolor sets and paint tubes in red and yellow. Easels show off city scenes such as New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Philadelphia, along with a seaside view. Impressionist fans will spot nods to Monet's garden, bridge and water lilies, a lady with a parasol and a swirl of Van Gogh's starry sky. Museum lovers may find an antique French couch and a salt cellar, while a potter at the wheel and a bunny painting hearts keep things playful. Lift any lid to find room for a charcoal nub, a spare brush tip or a gallery ticket stub.
Art lovers arrange things by instinct, so collecting comes naturally. Set palettes and easels on a narrow picture ledge like a tiny studio wall, or group boxes by color for a rainbow display. Gift one when an artist sells a first painting, lands a show or finishes a big commission, and the collection becomes a timeline of a creative life. Pair a palette with a set of real brushes for an extra-thoughtful touch. Then sign the card with a doodle of your own, even a terrible one.
