Gaslight & Shadows Antiques - the store

eLimoges boxes are hand made, hand painted, beautiful small porcelain boxes made in the town of Limoges, France. The production of Limoges porcelain dates back to the 1770's. The Limoges boxes of today are made of hard-paste porcelain which is found in the city of Limoges, France. Prior to 1768, the snuff boxes were made of soft-paste porcelain from Paris, a creamy yellowish color.
Originally the boxes were used for snuff, small jewelry, fake beauty marks, sewing needles, medicine, cosmetic powder, candy, and other small objects. Today these whimsical boxes are decorative, mostly used for display purposes. The Limoges boxes that Gaslight & Shadows Antiques carry are from only the finest studios and importers like Artoria Limoges, Rochard, Limoges Imports, Limoges Diffusion, Chamart, Parry Vieille, Elda Créations, Gérard Ribierre, S&D, Chanille, Dubarry, La Reine, Royale de Limoges, La Trefle, Rose Decor, Decor Ceram, Diez, DZ, D Moreau, and other fine studios. All of our Limoges Boxes are Pain Mein , painted by hand. |
