Rochard Blue Oval Limoges Box Ringed in Gold Circles

Rings of gold circle a smooth blue ground on this tailored oval from Rochard. There is no figure on top, just a clean shape and a repeating gold pattern, all hand-painted on porcelain in Limoges, France.

Gold Rings on a Blue Sky

Some of the most appealing Limoges boxes are the plainest ones, where color and pattern carry the whole design. The circles here give a sense of rhythm, and the blue keeps the look calm and classic. Every gold line is applied by hand, so slight differences show up from piece to piece.

A Desk Worth Dressing

This oval suits a man's dresser or a home office as easily as a vanity, which makes it one of the more versatile boxes in the Rochard range. Cufflinks, a spare key or a favorite ring fit naturally inside. On a desk it adds a touch of color without crowding the space.
