Classic Limoges Box Collectors
Long before porcelain puppies and pumpkin coaches, there was the simple trinket box, and it never went out of style. Classic Limoges round and shaped boxes are for the minimalist, the antique lover, the mother of the bride and the boss you want to impress without going overboard. Each is hand-painted in France, hinged and arrives gift-boxed. Rings, mints and love notes all look better inside one. No theme required, just beauty in a small package.
Classic does not mean boring here. Expect tall canisters in red, pastel blue and white, crown-top boxes in blue, red and orange, and an urn in blue and white. Geometry fans can look for triangles, rhombuses, hexagons, ovals with gold circles and rectangles painted with flowers. Little needle boxes and round pill boxes are made for everyday use. A chest and a dove on burgundy round out the lineup.
A round pill box is a practical gift for the purse, and a crown-top box makes a regal hostess or boss's day present. Many collectors start with a classic shape, then use these pieces to anchor flashier figural boxes on the shelf. Try grouping by color, blues and whites in one cluster and golds in another, on a mirrored vanity tray or a glass-front cabinet. Mix tall and short pieces for rhythm. Sometimes the simplest box says the most.
