Royal Watchers & Anglophiles
Put the kettle on, because this one is for the friend who sets an alarm for every royal wedding and says lift instead of elevator purely for fun. Limoges gifts for Anglophiles bring a dash of London to the tea table without the transatlantic flight. Each tiny box is hinged, hand-painted in France and arrives gift-boxed, perfectly presentable at afternoon tea. It is a far more distinguished souvenir than a fridge magnet, and it will never queue for anything.
Crowns are the crown jewels here, in tall, small, red, blue, green, yellow and orange-topped styles, plus one resting regally on a pillow. Take a tiny tour of London with a double-decker bus holding a removable ticket, a black taxi in Union Jack colors and a red phone booth whose receiver lifts right out. Big Ben may come with a removable bell, and the Tower of London and St Paul's Cathedral stand nearby. A royal coach and a portrait of Queen Elizabeth round out the court. The gilding and colors are applied by hand, one careful brushstroke at a time.
Royal collections are a joy to arrange. Line up the bus, taxi and phone booth on a shelf like a London street, or gather a rainbow of crowns on a vanity tray beside the brooches. Many Anglophiles add a piece after every trip to Britain or every big royal occasion. A crown box makes a charming hostess gift for a coronation or jubilee watch party, too. Long may your collection reign.
