French Limoges Enamel Box

About the Item

This delightful porcelain and enamel box perfectly exemplifies the esteemed French Limoges tradition. It features a meticulously hand-applied pink and blue floral scene against a brown background. The lid is adorned with gold paint and showcases a finely detailed duck, highlighting the magnificent artisanal skill of its 19th-century French artisans. French Limoges enamel is distinguished in the world of decorative arts. Originating from the Limoges region in France, renowned since the Middle Ages for its enamels, this art form reached its zenith in the 19th century. The process involves fusing colored glass with metal, creating vibrant, enduring colors that resist fading. This technique allows for exquisite detail and depth, characteristics that are prominently displayed in this treasure. 19th century 2 1/4” wide x 1 1/2“ deep x 1 3/8“ high
