Lunar New Year
Red lanterns glow, firecrackers crackle and the dumplings disappear faster than anyone can count. Lunar New Year celebrates family, fresh starts and good fortune, and a thoughtful gift fits right in. Our Limoges Lunar New Year boxes are hand-painted in France, hinged and arrive gift-boxed for grandparents, hosts or dear friends. The tiny lid makes a lovely hiding place for a folded wish or a lucky coin. It is a small treasure with a very big message: may this year be your best one yet.
Here the dragon gets star billing, painted in rich color and looking ready to lead the parade. Chinese lanterns, fierce little foo dogs and a takeout carton with calligraphy add plenty of festive personality. Zodiac fans will find animal-year designs such as the snake and the horse, along with astrology signs for every birthday. Pandas soften the mood, including a mama with her cub and a little one munching bamboo. Some designs include charming extras, such as a removable brass leaf or a tiny bill tucked inside for prosperity.
The zodiac is practically made for collecting, so many families start with their own animal and add one for each person in the household. Others add a new design every Lunar New Year to mark the turning of the calendar. Set them on a red lacquer tray, along a sideboard with paper lanterns or in a glass cabinet where the colors glow all year. A box also makes a graceful substitute for flowers when you are a guest at a reunion dinner. Wishing you health, luck and plenty of sweet surprises.
