Rochard Red Limoges Box Topped with a Crown

A crown sits proudly on the lid of this deep red Rochard box, turning a simple shape into a small piece of regalia. Red body and crown are both painted by hand on porcelain in Limoges, France.

Red Velvet and Royalty

Red has long been the color of royal robes and throne room hangings, and Rochard pairs it here with the most recognizable royal symbol of all. The result feels ceremonial yet playful. Each box is painted individually, so the shade of red and the crown details vary a little between pieces.

Long Live the Birthday Queen

• A Rochard crown top design
• Fits a royal, king and queen or red collection
• A natural match for the blue crown top in the same series

Throne Room to Dresser Top

This box makes a fun present for a birthday king or queen, a newly crowned homecoming royal or a boss who runs a tight ship. It also suits a fan of British royal history or a traveler home from a tour of European palaces. Place it on a dresser, a vanity or a bookshelf, where the red adds a bold accent.

Collectors often buy the red and blue crowns as a pair, setting them on either side of a mirror or a framed photo like guards at the palace gate.
