Limoges Furniture

French

Limoges porcelain has withstood the test of time for centuries. The widely cherished ceramics named for the French city and commune in which they are made are synonymous with sophistication, elegance and refinement. Today, antique Limoges dinnerware, serveware, decorative objects and other porcelain products are coveted and collected all over the world. 

The story of Limoges porcelain, which refers to porcelain made in the Limoges region of France — not by a specific factory — begins in 1768. The region is a rich source of kaolin, feldspar and quartz — vital ingredients to the production of this type of pottery.

Porcelain was first made in China and spread all over the world owing to the trade routes to the Far East established by Dutch and Portuguese merchants. Given its origin, English speakers called porcelain “fine china,” an expression you still might hear today. "Fine" indeed — for over a thousand years, it has been a highly sought-after material. Meissen Porcelain (Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen), which was founded in the Electorate of Saxony (now Germany), is one of the preeminent porcelain factories in Europe and was the first to produce true porcelain outside of Asia.

Limoges porcelain refers to porcelain produced in and near the city of Limoges — it does not refer to a specific manufacturer — and it’s distinctive for its luminous hue and bright white qualities, providing an ideal canvas for intricately detailed hand-painted decorations. (Revered Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir began his career painting plates in Limoges.)

It wasn’t long before Limoges porcelain captured the attention of King Louis XVI — the region’s first manufactory, established toward the close of the 18th century, was placed under the protection of the King’s brother, the Comte d’Artois. It was later purchased by the King and became Manufacture Royale de Limoges. The facility produced a variety of pieces, including delicate, gold-embellished trinket boxes, ornamental vessels, Rococo-style figurines and elaborate dinnerware service sets. 

Following the end of the French Revolution in 1794, Limoges porcelain was no longer restricted, and the commercial porcelain industry ballooned. 

By 1819, Limoges had four porcelain factories, and as demand for porcelain grew during the 19th century, the industry expanded in the French city. In 1853, American businessman David Haviland opened the Haviland & Co. factory in Limoges to export porcelain to the United States. The company produced several iconic serveware collections for many American presidents, including Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant and Rutherford B. Hayes. Bernardaud opened in the early 1860s.

By 1900, Limoges had 35 factories, which employed close to 8,000 workers. In 1925, Limoges porcelain was shown at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts — the design fair in Paris that brought global attention to the Art Deco style — where it garnered international acclaim. 

During the 20th century, Limoges factories such as Bernardaud collaborated with a range of notable artists and designers, including Franz Bischoff, Joan Miró, Raymond Loewy, Alexander Calder and Julian Schnabel, to name a few. 

Today, authentic Limoges porcelain tableware, vases and objets d’art continue to gain renown with collectors and design lovers all over the world.

By Boucheron, Limoges

Located in Moreno Valley, CA

Boucheron Paris Porcelain Trinket Tray by Limoges, Hand-Painted, France c.1980s Elevate your space with this exquisite hand-painted porcelain trinket tray, made in Limoges, France for the iconic luxury jeweler Boucheron Paris. This square vide-poche features a vibrant illustration of the Boucheron Maison at Place Vendôme, with a majestic Maharajah riding an elephant in front, framed by a rich purple serpent motif border. The image depicts a historical event related to Boucheron, a French luxury jewelry house, and features an elephant procession in front of their boutique. This image likely commemorates the famous elephant procession organized by Boucheron in 1928, when Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala visited Paris. The Maharaja arrived with a large retinue and an impressive collection of jewels, which he commissioned Boucheron to reset. This event was a significant moment in the history of both Boucheron and high-end jewelry, showcasing the opulence and global reach of luxury in the early 20th century. The image emphasizes the grandeur of the occasion and the unique way in which Boucheron engaged with its distinguished clientele. Hand-crafted from fine French Limoges porcelain, this decorative catchall tray is ideal for holding jewelry, cigars, rings, or keys on a vanity, dresser, or cocktail table. Marked on the base: "Boucheron Paris, Porcelaine de Limoges, France." A rare and collectible luxury accent piece, perfect for those who appreciate Parisian heritage, French porcelain, and timeless design from the world of high jewelry. Maker: Porcelaine de Limoges for Boucheron Origin: France, c.1980s Material: Fine porcelain Design: Hand-painted Place Vendôme with elephant and snake motif Shape: Square tray / ashtray / vide-poche Marking: "Boucheron Paris, Porcelaine de Limoges France" Keywords: Boucheron Paris porcelain tray, Limoges trinket dish...
